About the Challenge

Founded by Charles Frédette, Ryan Dollinger and Philip Becker, the Young Investors Challenge is a non-profit organization which provides a unique experience to all teenagers regardless of their investing experience.

The Trading Challenge

A virtual investment competition that begins in March. Using our platform, each participant will receive $100,000 to invest in a variety of stocks and ETFs, and rankings will be based on portfolio value.

“The Young Investors Challenge is a one-of-a-kind learning experience that I recommend to all teenagers that are interested in stocks!”

Creating a substantial impact.

Through community initiatives, wide-reaching competitions and student opportunities, our organization focuses on making an impact within our community.
