Young Minds Big Ideas 2025

Young Minds Big Ideas (YMBI) is a student-led nonprofit empowering the next generation of changemakers through entrepreneurship and community innovation. With 20+ chapters across New Jersey, we help high school students turn bold ideas into real-world impact — from pitching to local councils to collaborating with state legislators. Our statewide competition brings together youth to tackle pressing social issues, and our Coffee Chat Series brings entrepreneurial literacy to underserved schools. With your support, we can expand access, fund more student-led projects, and fuel a movement where young minds lead big change.
