Why we Do
What we Do

High school students across the world share a deep interest in economics, finance, entrepreneurship, and policy; yet many lack structured opportunities to engage with these fields beyond the classroom. Existing programs are often limited in scale or geography, leaving countless students without access to mentorship, applied experiences, or professional networks.

We believe this gap should not exist. Every student, regardless of where they live, deserves the chance to explore real-world economics, connect with professionals, and collaborate with peers who share the same passion.

By creating competitions, outreach programs, speaker events, and curated resources, we aim to democratize access to opportunities, bridge divides across countries, and inspire the next generation of global economic thinkers and leaders.

Passion is Universal, Yet Opportunity is Not

You didn’t come this far to stop

We're here to Fix this.

Our Story

Founded by Sanvi Agarwal and Xiao Zhang, our organization was born out of a shared frustration: high school students had fewer opportunities in the social sciences compared to their STEM peers. As medalists, competitors, and passionate learners in economics and politics, we saw firsthand how limited access to mentorship, competitions, and applied experiences held students back. Together, we set out to create a global platform that bridges this gap and empowers youth worldwide to explore, connect, and lead.
