Peeling back potential - empowering the next generation of youth entrepreneurs


Past the Peel is a youth-focused initiative with a mission to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs—starting with something as simple as a lemonade stand. We believe every young person has untapped potential, and our goal is to help them peel back the layers of fear, doubt, and limitation to discover confidence, creativity, and purpose.We’re building a community-driven program that teaches kids and teens how to start their own micro-businesses through hands-on experiences, mentorship, and real-world skill-building. Whether it’s learning to set up a stand, price a product, or talk to a customer, we help youth gain the tools they need to turn ideas into action.Right now, Past the Peel is in its early stages—but our vision is big. We’re laying the groundwork to grow into a fully-fledged nonprofit organization with lasting impact. Our dream is to create a nationwide movement that inspires young people to believe in themselves, chase opportunities, and lead with confidence—one small business at a time.Because when you teach kids to look beyond the surface, you help them discover they’re capable of so much more. That’s what it means to go Past the Peel.
