You See The Potential In Your Teen.
You Want To Make Sure They Are Set Up For Success.
You want your teen to be confident. Capable. Able to communicate, solve problems, take initiative, and figure things out when the answer isn't obvious.
And yes, college may be part of the conversation. But you're not just preparing your child for an application.
You're preparing them for a world that is changing quickly.
Technology will change.
The job market will change.
The opportunities available to them will change.
We can't prepare teens for every change that's coming.
But we can help them become the kind of young adults who know what to do when things change.
That's where WIT comes in.
WIT Founder Sarah Hernholm - started advocating for young entrepreneurs in 2009 and hasn’t stopped!
THERE ISN'T ONE RIGHT PATH FOR EVERY TEEN
Some teens come to WIT with a business already underway.
Some have an idea they can't stop thinking about.
Some have interests and ambition but aren't sure what to do with them yet.
And some parents come to us because they see something in their child that isn't being fully developed through school, sports, clubs, or traditional extracurriculars.
WIT meets teens where they are—and helps them move forward from there.
We use entrepreneurship and real-world experiences to help young people develop the confidence, problem-solving skills, communication, adaptability, initiative, and ownership they'll need for college, work, and life.
Not because every teen needs to become an entrepreneur.
Because every teen benefits from learning how to think like one.
WHAT ARE YOU HOPING TO SEE IN YOUR TEEN?
Maybe you want your teen to...
Take more initiative instead of waiting to be told what to do.
Find something they're genuinely excited to pursue.
Become more confident communicating with adults.
Learn how to turn an idea into action.
Develop interests beyond grades, sports, and traditional extracurriculars.
Have an adult mentor who can challenge them in a way that's different from a parent or teacher.
Build something meaningful because they care about it, not because someone told them it would look good on an application.
Become better prepared for whatever comes after high school.
You don't have to know exactly which WIT program will get them there.
That's something we can figure out together.

“BUT MY TEEN ALREADY HAS A LOT GOING ON.”
We hear this from parents all the time.
Your teen may already have great grades. Sports. Clubs. Volunteer work. A college counselor. Maybe even an impressive résumé.
WIT isn't designed to add another activity to that list.
The goal is to give your teen something many traditional activities don't: ownership.
They make decisions.
They solve problems.
They communicate their ideas.
They experience things not working.
They adjust.
They learn to advocate for themselves.
And ultimately, they begin discovering what they're capable of when the outcome isn't already defined for them.
That's the experience we're interested in creating.
“MY TEEN ALREADY HAS A COLLEGE COUNSELOR.”
Good. WIT isn't designed to replace them.
A college counselor can help your teen navigate the college admissions process—building a college list, understanding requirements, managing deadlines, and helping them think about how to present their experiences on an application.
WIT does something different.
We help your teen develop the experiences, skills, and stories that come from actually doing something.
Instead of asking:
“What should my teen do to look good on a college application?”
WIT starts with:
“What does my teen care about—and what could they actually do with it?”
That might mean identifying a problem they want to solve. Launching a business or nonprofit. Creating a product. Starting a podcast. Building an initiative. Interning with an expert.
In the process, they develop the things that matter far beyond an application: initiative, communication, problem-solving, adaptability, resilience, and ownership.
The Difference Is Simple:
COLLEGE COUNSELING
Helps your teen navigate and position themselves for the college admissions process.
WIT
Helps your teen develop who they are, what they can do, and the real-world experiences they'll have to draw from—in college admissions and long after.
A great college application results from “doing WIT”.
