THE BOARDROOM HAS NO
AGE LIMIT.
We bring world-class business education — leadership, venture building, and financial literacy — directly into underserved K-12 districts. Because every child deserves a seat at the table.
Our Mission
AN ELITE MBA.
FOR EVERY KID.
IN EVERY ZIP CODE.
Top business schools charge $200K for an MBA. We deliver the same frameworks — venture building, financial literacy, leadership — to kids in underserved districts. For free. Because access shouldn't be a privilege.
Leadership
Executive presence, decision-making, and team dynamics — taught through real scenarios, not textbooks.
Venture Building
Students build, pitch, and launch real micro-businesses over 8 weeks. Real stakes, real learning.
Financial Literacy
Budgeting, investing, and compounding interest — the money knowledge most adults never received.
Founder Spotlight
MEET THE
VISIONARY
BEHIND IT ALL.
Cindy Ha
Founder & Executive Director
As a USC MBA graduate and mother of four, Cindy Ha knows firsthand the gap between the education elite families access and what underserved communities receive. She built Young Innovators for Change to close that gap — permanently.
Her vision is radical in its simplicity: every child, regardless of zip code or household income, deserves the same business acumen that top MBA programs charge $200,000 to teach. And she is delivering it — one district at a time.
"The zip code a child is born into should never determine the ceiling of their ambition. We are here to remove that ceiling entirely."
— Cindy Ha, Founder
