YPO Bootcamp

Never Ever Ever Give Up Global Youth Leadership Boot Camp: An Only-In-YPO Experience for your Children

  • Designed exclusively for teenage children of YPO members
  • Nurtured by YPO Champion, Fortune 500 CEO and Best Selling Author Jay Sidhu
  • Entrepreneurship, AI and Ethics-Centered Leadership Curriculum
  • A unique presentation by the members of YPO Pennsylvania Chapter.
  • For two intensive weeks –  June 14–26, 2026, a select cohort of up to 50 teens (ages 14–19) from YPO families around the world will come together at Alvernia University in Reading, Pennsylvania, USA. Your child will explore entrepreneurship, AI, and global leadership; meet members of Congress in the US Capitol; visit Independence Hall and the Wharton School; speak in the General Assembly Hall of the United Nations; join traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange; and become more emotionally, spiritually and intellectually mature than their parents. Graduation, with parents, will take place at the NYSE.

Who Should Attend

This program is ideal for teens ages 14–19 from YPO families who are:

  • Curious about entrepreneurship, AI, and global business
  • Ready for a socially and culturally immersive experience abroad
  • Interested in leading in family businesses, startups, or public life
  • Students who want to strengthen their soft skills—communication, public speaking, collaboration, and problem-solving—alongside peers who share ambitious goals.

While participation is reserved for children of YPO members, each student may register one companion (friend or relative of similar age) to join them, subject to availability.
