Jun 20 – Jul 18, 2026

Saturdays 10 am – 12:00 noon – Boston, MA

The world is changing fast. The people who learn how to move with it are the ones who get ahead. We can help.

The Innovators Xcelerator is a free, four-week Saturday program for Boston young adults ages 18 to 24. You’ll learn how to think like an innovator and entrepreneur, get hands-on with AI tools that are already changing how people work and earn, and discover what makes you uniquely valuable.

No experience needed. No business idea required. Just show up ready to learn. Leave with new skills, more confidence, and a community behind you.

NOTE: There is no class on July 4.

INSPIRING TODAY’S YOUTH

Our programs are designed to give aspiring change-makers the tools to develop and market innovative solutions to the problems that they see in their community and beyond.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is simple. It is to empower those from diverse backgrounds to leverage their unique value to create innovative solutions to challenging problems.

We provide the information, mentorship, and tools to help students achieve economic empowerment for themselves, their families, and their communities.  

We help them move from their personal “Street” (or challenge) to their individual “Ivy” (or goal).

WE BELIEVE

We believe that talent shines in every young person, regardless of background. Ideas, ambition, and grit are universal — yet many face barriers in accessing the networks, tools, and real-world experiences they need to thrive.

We are committed to fostering entrepreneurship and innovative problem-solving skills, connecting individuals to supportive communities and opportunities. Through this, we aim to unlock potential, break down barriers, and create pathways to greater economic opportunity and equity.

WHO WE ARE

Tavares Brewington, Street2Ivy’s founder, has gained crucial insights through his time as a leader in a number of the world’s largest global companies. Inspired by his improbable journey from the streets of Florida to the Ivy League, Tavares, a Forbes Next 1000 Entrepreneur, and Innovator, founded Street2Ivy to help unlock the entrepreneurial promise for those who have been underestimated and unseen, but whose faith, drive, and work ethic enables them to see beyond their current circumstances to become the next innovator.
