WIT COURSES
Give Your T(w)een the Edge That Matters
Launching a business or passion project isn’t just about boosting a college application — it’s about giving t(w)eens the chance to explore what truly excites them.
Whether they’re building a brand, starting a movement, or creating a product, this hands-on experience helps them develop leadership skills, creative thinking, and resilience — qualities that stand out in life, not just on paper.
