iGY Incubator Application (Teens)

iGeneration Youth invites teen storytellers, artists, computer programmers, and entrepreneurs to apply for our incubator program. We accept applications year round; however, we have a limited number of spots. If our admissions team believes you are a good fit for our program, we will invite you and your parent(s) or guardian(s) to meet with us in person or via a video conference.

If you wish for a parent or guardian to receive information about the program, put their email address as a response to the first question. A copy of your application response will be sent to them, along with additional information. Otherwise, put your own email address. We look forward to learning more about you.
