JABC Junior Entrepreneur Award

The Junior Entrepreneur Award recognizes youth who have demonstrated outstanding business acumen, growth, leadership and entrepreneurial spirit while participating in JA Company Program, JA Company Program for Indigenous Learners, or Discover Your Pitch. This year, up to four participants will be awarded $2,500 each to support their diverse educational or other needs. Participants must be nominated by their JA Company Program mentor(s) or host teacher(s). Award recipients will participate in a live panel interview about their experience at the annual BLBC Hall of Fame Gala Dinner & Induction Ceremonies to be held on June 8, 2026, in Vancouver. The award is designed to recognize a diverse range of talents and experiences among young entrepreneurs who have completed these programs during the 2025-26 school year in British Columbia.
