The Longo Family Be Your Own Boss (BYOB) March Break Program is accepting applications from high school students interested in exploring entrepreneurship, creativity, leadership, and innovation. This free, four-day program will run from March 16–19, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Humber Polytechnic’s Downtown Campus.

Designed for students with any level of experience, the hands-on program guides participants through the process of developing real business ideas.
