Dare to Dream Fellowship | Her Idea's Project Mentorship Program | Application
SHOULD I APPLY?

Do you have an interest or passion that you would love to pursue now, and are looking for the resources and guidance, then we encourage you to apply! This program is a 6-month entrepreneurship cohort for youth ages 14-18 in San Francisco. Our program offers mentorship, entrepreneurial/project based learning guidance, and fundraising support to fund your idea.

The program goal is to provide youth opportunities to pursue something they’re passionate about learning. We believe ALL young people should have the support and resources to deepen their interests and have ownership of their own learning journeys.

Her Idea is committed to bringing our signature project mentorship program, Dare to Dream Fellowship, to youth who lack access to rich learning opportunities. If you’re hungry to pursue a topic you’re passionate about — whether it’s art for youth, biking for climate change, building a music production studio and curriculum, free medical first aid training for youth, disrupting the beauty industry, building a fashion brand, starting a podcast, creating an accessible dance program, building a boat, anything you have a deep interest in! — we want to give you the support to pursue it and take control of your own learning.

First, think about a topic or skill you want to explore or problem you would like to find a solution for. Please answer the application questions in as much detail as you can. You can write your answers below, or send an audio or video file if it will help you present your ideas more clearly!
