Welcome to our showcase of our Young Millionaires Program youth-run businesses.  As participants develop their ideas into viable products, we will continue to add their business info right here! 

Each of the businesses featured below are currently OPEN for business.

Each youth within our program is expected- with the help of our fantastic facilitators and hands-on workshops- to develop an idea, draft a budget and create a business plan.  Upon submission of the business plan, each business is granted funds to begin their entrepreneurship journey.  Each young entrepreneur listed is currently open for business, and are categorized by region (please see drop down menu under 2024 Businesses for regions).

Each business can be contacted directly, or you may email ymp@centralpei.ca with any questions.

Youth products *may* be available to ship, on a consignment or wholesale basis.  For these inquiries, we do recommend that interested parties contact the business owner / artisan directly, or email the Provincial Coordinator  who will contact the business owner and request an appointment.

Email ymp@centralpei.ca to ask about our YMP Consignment Catalogue for all your bulk product or product placement needs.

Thank you.

She Rocks PEI

She Rocks PEI is a second year YMP business with quite the beginnings.  In 2021, Miss Akira- alongside her partner Miss Peyton- began The Mini Makers of PEI.   This dynamic duo did amazing during the 2021 season, and walked away with the coveted ‘ Entrepreneurs of the Year’ award for the entire program.

But Miss Akira is nowhere near done yet!  Having dissolved her previous partnership in early 2022, she decided to re-invest her earnings into She Rocks PEI, creating stunning painted shells,  custom coasters and beautiful rings and bracelets from semi precious stones and sterling silver charms.  She is located in the CENTRAL region and based in Rustico, PEI.

Say HEY if you see her at various festivals, fairs and vending events over the year, and don’t forget to check out her fantastic and quality products!
