Where Miami’s Future Leaders Meet Today’s Changemakers

Brunching for Breakthroughs is a signature, student-led experience that brings together education, entrepreneurship, and community impact.

Guests will enjoy a thoughtfully curated brunch designed in collaboration with THesis Hotel’s award-winning culinary team, complemented by live musical performances from Breakthrough Scholars and their peers. Set in the Paseo’s vibrant open-air environment, the event celebrates youth leadership, innovation, and meaningful community connection.

New in 2026: The Young Entrepreneurs Market

At the heart of this year's Brunching for Breakthroughs is the debut of the Young Entrepreneurs Market — a live marketplace where Breakthrough Scholars launch, showcase, and sell their own business ventures.

Backed by mentorship and a startup budget, students transform ideas into real-world products, gaining hands-on experience in:

Product development
Branding and marketing
Budgeting and financial planning
Customer engagement and sales

For guests and sponsors, the Market offers a front-row seat to the creativity, confidence, and entrepreneurial spirit of Miami’s next generation of innovators.

An Experiential Learning Opportunity

The Young Entrepreneurs Market brings together Breakthrough Miami’s academic enrichment, leadership training, and entrepreneurship curriculum in one dynamic, real-world experience.

Each Scholar team receives:

A $500 startup budget
Guidance to develop a business plan and marketing strategy
Ongoing support from a dedicated business mentor

Teams bring their ventures to life at the Market — testing ideas, refining skills, and gaining invaluable exposure to community leaders and professionals.
