Young Entrepreneurs' Initiative (YEI)

Who We Are:

The Young Entrepreneurs' Initiative, known as the YEI, was developed by a grassroots committee of young entrepreneurs.

The St. Thomas & District Chamber of Commerce responded to a gap in representation identified in the community and brought YEI on as a sub-committee of the Chamber.

We were created to serve young entrepreneurs under 40 in St. Thomas and the surrounding area with the goal of showcasing businesses, creating vibrant networking opportunities, and educating them for continued success.

Our Mission:

Our mission at the YEI is to empower, inspire, and support the next generation of business leaders as they navigate the dynamic landscape of entrepreneurship.

We aim to cultivate a vibrant community where young entrepreneurs can exchange ideas, access valuable resources, and forge meaningful connections that propel their ventures forward. Together, we envision a future where young entrepreneurs are equipped with the tools, knowledge, and network needed to realize their full potential and create lasting impact.
