About Us

---

Empowering Youth Together serves young people between the ages of 9 and 19.

 Participants can launch their own businesses in our Creative Enterprise Programs, learn smart money habits in Cash Creativity, showcase their ideas with The Presentation Lab, connect with the community at Makers & More Experience, advance their business skills in Creative Enterprise 2.0, and gain health knowledge through our Health Heroes Program. Each program combines mentorship, hands-on learning, and opportunities to grow as a leader and community member.

It’s easy to get involved! To get started, please visit our Home page and all sign-up links are hyperlinked under our How You Can Get Involved section.

Once we review your application, we'll reach out to discuss potential school partnerships, vendor registration(s), and/or the next steps in volunteering. 

We measure our success by the tangible outcomes of our programs. 

For example, in our Entrepreneurship Program(s), every participating youth leaves with a written business plan and the confidence to present their ideas. 

Our Young Health Heroes receive official CPR certification, gaining a life-saving skill. 

You can read success stories and see our program outcomes on our website's Impact page. 

What sets us apart is our focus on creating a complete ecosystem of support. We don't just offer workshops; we build lasting partnerships with schools and local businesses to provide youth with mentorship, internships, and real-world experience. Our programs are designed to be a continuous cycle of learning, applying skills, and giving back to the community. 

  We are currently looking for:

• Mentors (business owners, entrepreneurs, seniors, veterans) to guide youth one-on-one.
• Workshop Instructors (educators, health professionals) to lead sessions.
• Event Support to help organize our youth-led markets, career days, and community health fairs.

All volunteers who will be working directly with youth are required to pass a background check. For specific roles, like a CPR instructor, we may require a relevant certification. 

 We offer a range of opportunities to fit your schedule. Roles can be as flexible as a one-time commitment, like helping at a youth market or a health fair, or as consistent as mentoring a young person for a few hours each month.
