Our Journey from Quarter Zero to Yellow Brick Experiential

Empowering Young Minds, Strengthening Family Bonds

Yellow Brick Experiential is born from a passion for nurturing young potential and a belief in the power of experiential learning. Our story begins with Quarter Zero and evolves into a mission to create meaningful, educational experiences for children and their families.

Our Roots

The Quarter Zero Legacy

  • 1,000+ high school students impacted

  • 40 US states and 15 countries represented

  • “Best-of-the-best” international award for youth and family programing

Quarter Zero, founded in 2013, began as a youth entrepreneurship program at the Harvard Innovation Lab but evolved into a transformative platform for personal growth and self-discovery. While entrepreneurship was our vehicle, our true mission was to unlock and nurture the innate potential within each young person, fostering skills like critical thinking, leadership, and emotional intelligence.

Today, our alumni have created companies valued at $200,000,000 and are launching new ventures every year, but our greatest pride comes from witnessing the holistic growth of our participants. We saw shy students become powerful public speakers, uncertain teens grow into decisive leaders, and young people from all backgrounds realize they had the power to make a difference in the world. This legacy of empowering youth to believe in themselves and pursue their dreams with courage is the foundation upon which Yellow Brick Experiential is built.
