Rising Leaders’ Young Entrepreneurship Program
Rising Leaders’ Youth Entrepreneurship/Career Path Program (YEP) is a program developed for youth/young adults ages 6 to 21, both male and female. YEP will introduce them to different career paths at an early age, which will equip them with the necessary skill sets to be successful in a particular field of interest. In today’s society it’s not sufficient enough to just encourage our youth/young adults to get a job. The cost of living is much higher than minimum wage. It’s a must that they’re fully prepared and understand their full potential.
We have developed training workshops that all of our youth/young adults will participate in and complete before moving on to the career training. Our program works with youth/young adults a minimum of six months. YEP has partnered with several businesses and corporations that will work with our youth/young adults in their perspective fields. All of our participants will be introduced to several different career paths. After the youth/young adults identify a career of interest we will assist them in creating a life plan and teach them how to stay on task as they accomplish their goals, working towards completion. There will be several other components attached to the YEP program: such as community service, stipends, extra-curricular activities and a host of networking opportunities.
Our continuous goal is to change the mindset of the youth/young adults so they can write their future toward greatness. In doing so, we are hosting an informative fundraiser, introducing the program to the surrounding communities.
Rising Readers Program:
A reading initiative that we have implemented into barbershops and hair salons. Every time a child comes into a salon or shop to get their hair done, they will either read aloud for a few minutes or read a few pages in exchange for a discount on their services. Each participant will have a log to complete, which will allow us to track the participant’s progress.
