The Young Entrepreneurship and Leadership Launchpad (YELL) is a program designed for students interested in gaining knowledge and developing experience in all areas of business and entrepreneurship or who have an entrepreneurial spirit.

Hosted at Sutherland and Windsor Secondary School for students in grades 11 and 12, the program is a hands-on, experiential accelerator that offers a real-world business setting for students.
Students attending the YELL course class on Monday evening
Students are able to earn course credits toward graduation while working with teachers, business, and community leaders to design a student-led business. The course is run outside of the regular timetable on Monday evenings for 2.5 hours.
The course also allows students to connect with the top entrepreneurial talent across the Lower Mainland, with students competing in a Venture Challenge in the spring.
