NextGen Venture Leadership Program

The NextGen Venture Leadership Program, established by the CIRC Youth Education & Empowerment Foundation, is designed to empower the next generation of visionary leaders—primarily undergraduate and graduate students—with the knowledge, resources, and networks necessary to turn ideas into impact.

Through partnerships with local government agencies, industry leaders, and innovative enterprises across Los Angeles and beyond, the program provides young entrepreneurs with access to mentorship, startup incubation opportunities, and real-world project development experiences. Participants are connected with accomplished professionals who share their expertise and insights on entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership in the modern economy.

The NextGen Venture Leadership Program aims to cultivate creativity, leadership, and a spirit of social innovation among young changemakers. By fostering collaboration between students, business pioneers, and public institutions, the program creates an ecosystem where ideas can thrive and transformative ventures can emerge.

CIRC Youth Education & Empowerment Foundation remains committed to supporting youth-driven innovation and leadership—helping the next generation not only dream boldly, but also build meaningfully.
