WHAT WE DO
We are here to help and assist young people to demonstrate the life and work readiness skills needed for the technology-rich job market. We support young people on the path to employment and economic independence by providing personal and professional development workshops and seminars.
Education
We provide our youth with professional development and career counseling. The foundation also conducts life and career development research for our youth.
Entrepreneurship
We empower young people to succeed in self-employment because we know that the global market can’t keep pace with the vast numbers of young people entering every year. As future youth entrepreneurs, we assist them in starting new businesses and helping youth create new jobs. Our entrepreneurship initiatives give young men and women the foundational knowledge, training, and resources to start and develop new business.
Social Innovation
We invest in youth who are tackling some of the local, state and national social issues. We will support and help youth to attend national and regional conference related to social causes.
