HOW CAN WE HELP
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about shopping, giving back, and getting involved with Youngpreneur.
SHOPPING & ORDERS
Shopping & Orders
What is Youngpreneur?
Youngpreneur is a premium brand for the next generation of builders, dreamers, and doers. Every piece carries the YA mark and a purpose behind it, and 10% of proceeds fund youth entrepreneurship through Youngpreneur Academy™, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 93‑2657679).
How does my purchase give back?
10% of proceeds go directly to Youngpreneur Academy™, funding entrepreneurship and financial-literacy programs for youth. Your hoodie funds workshops; your cap funds pitch competitions; your journal funds a young mind’s first business plan.
What products do you offer?
Apparel, outerwear, headwear, bags, drinkware, tech accessories, and home goods, each designed around the Youngpreneur brand. Explore the full collection.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders are processed within 2 to 7 business days and, for U.S. addresses, arrive within an additional 3 to 8 business days, so most orders arrive within 1 to 3 weeks. If your order includes more than one item, items may ship separately and arrive on different days. You will receive tracking by email as soon as each shipment is on its way.
Can I return or exchange my order?
Because our pieces are specialty items, all sales are final. We don’t accept returns or exchanges for change of mind or sizing, so please review the size guide before you buy. If your order arrives defective, damaged, or incorrect, contact us within 30 days with photos and we’ll make it right with a replacement or refund. For full details, see our Refund & Return Policy.
