About Us

  • SNNY was originally started in late 2024 as a civic platform, focusing on youth empowerment and allowing high schoolers in NY to have a voice to be heard, through projects that they created

  • Since then, we have moved towards becoming an entrepreneurial organization that specializes in building and growing startups for high schoolers

  • SNNY has worked with top organizations and companies such as The Digital Economist, Intuit, Generation Citizen, Leadership Initiatives, and more

  • Since our launch in 2024, we have supported numerous organizations and startups, such as Chosen Futures, EcoVision, Rural Migrant Ministry, and more

Our mission is to help entrepreneurial high schoolers start and grow a business

“We want to give people who have entrepreneurial dreams in high school a platform to make their dreams a reality.”
