The Youth Entrepreneur Partnership Program was launched in 2014 as a pilot project and continues to be a valuable program in offering youth between the ages of 15 and 29, living in Northumberland County, the chance to operate a business either for the summer or on an ongoing basis. The main goal of the program is to give our youth the opportunity to operate a business in the hopes they will consider entrepreneurship as a career choice.

The 2020 application process will be available February 2020. Application deadline will be May 1, 2020.
