Youth-Led Nonprofit

Preparing Youth for University and Careers in Business

We aim to bridge the gap from high school to post-secondary education and from academics to future careers through free events, practical exposure, and mentorship.

Four Pillars

Public schools and underserved communities often lack hands-on opportunities, funding, and direct access to career insight. Luban was created to give students equal access to guidance, exploration, and practical learning.

We run free virtual and in-person events across four pillars: hands-on events, post-secondary blueprint, career pathfinder, and mentorship. Students learn through workshops, competitions, speaker sessions, and guided networking.

Luban currently focuses on students in grades 9-11, with plans to expand to grades 6-8. We especially support youth who need more access to university guidance, business education, and professional networks.

Luban strengthens mentor training, diversifies funding, maintains unified curriculum standards, and operates with transparent financial protocols so students can rely on consistent, high-quality support.
