DONATE

With the global pandemic disrupting employment and traditional education, this is the perfect moment to inspire the entrepreneurial spirit in young people. As young people look toward their future, they need new options. Our one year online Entrepreneurship & Technology program taps into the creativity of young people to position them to be able to succeed in any economic climate. Your donation goes toward laptops, Wifi hot spots, career mentors and career workshops and panelists.

Challenge

Most schools teach children to become an employee. But the global pandemic has disrupted economies and education around the world. There are 8.4 million fewer American jobs available than before the pandemic. Students have lost ground in reading and math over the last year, and many won't graduate. Now, so many young people will struggle and compete to find employment that pays a living wage because most have no idea what it takes to establish their own business.

Long-Term Impact

The RLF entrepreneurship program offers young people a high level of understanding about the business world and expands their employment options significantly. It positions young people to be able to work in any economic climate because they know how to successfully run a business anywhere. If they choose to build a business early, they can begin to build wealth that will position them for life success.
