Youth Empowerment is a WIN-WIN for the community. It is adults, teens, and children, working together to achieve value at every level.
Our projects help change the narrative of how people view our communities, and foster a sense of pride in both participants and residents.
When youth participate they are exposed to valuable tools that will support their social development and financial stability

- Leadership Training - Youth who participate are groomed into leadership roles preparing them for growth and development personally and professionally.
- **Money Management - Youth experience a six week training period that will engage them in investment decision making opportunity that will have real life benefit or even consequences to their financial freedom. Upon completion they are offered an opportunity to participate in our three year $2Dubs Program [pronounced Dollars to Dubs] where they can invest up to 10% of their earned revenue and receive a $1000 payout at programs end.
- Work Ethics Development - Professional success is a simple equation - Consistency + Skill Development = Long Term Success. Our mentors encourage youth to take pride in what they do in the community through the service they perform, and to be consistent in their participation. Over time, they will become more proficient at the task. When they practice this behavior and apply it in real life, they are destined to become successful in whatever they choose to do!
- Economic Empowerment - Youth have the opportunity to earn weekly stipends throughout the summer based on their level of participation.
- **Money Management is currently under development and will launch in 2022
