Are you a student interested in running a summer business?
If you are a student between the ages of 15 and 29 with a business idea, apply now for funding and mentorship to start your business.
Instead of a summer job, students can be their own boss through Summer Company – a program that supports youth entrepreneurship in Ontario.
The York Small Business Enterprise Centre (YSBEC) administers this program each year in partnership with the Government of Ontario.
The program offers:
- Hands-on training and skills development
- Coaching and guidance
- Mentorship to help develop and launch a business over the summer
- Financial support of up to $3,000
The program is open to students in York Region’s six northern six municipalities: Aurora, East Gwillimbury, Georgina, King, Newmarket and Stouffville. Students living in other municipalities can connect with their local small business enterprise centre for additional information.
Applications close April 30, 2026. To learn more, visit yorklink.ca/summercompany.
