Whatever It Takes.

WIT is a leader in youth entrepreneur and leadership programs around the world

A little background

In 2009, WIT Founder Sarah Hernholm took a bold step beyond the classroom, leaving her teaching career behind to create an organization where youth could turn their ideas into reality. Inspired by her classroom motto, “Whatever It Takes”, she launched WIT - Whatever It Takes. Since it’s inception, WIT has worked with over 10,000 students.

WIT continues to empowers tweens and teens around the world to launch businesses, non-profits, and passion projects, building confidence, resilience, and leadership along the way. WIT does this through virtual classes and competitions, along with in-person and virtual hackathons.
