Empowering Youth Through Entrepreneurship
Get Involved
Empower the Next Generation
If you are a parent, educator, or young person interested in joining, we welcome you to become part of the WDC family. Together, we can create opportunities for youth to thrive, lead, and inspire.
1. Leadership Development:
We train young people to be leaders in their communities and beyond. Through workshops, leadership projects, and real-world experiences, students gain practical tools for becoming effective leaders and decision-makers.
2. Mentorship Opportunities:
One-on-one and group mentorships are a core element of our Youth Empowerment Program. Youth are paired with successful professionals who provide guidance, share experiences, and help them navigate challenges in their personal and academic lives. Our mentors act as role models, offering insight and inspiration to help youth reach their full potential.
3. Entrepreneurship Training:
As part of our commitment to fostering economic empowerment, the Youth Empowerment Program includes entrepreneurship training through initiatives like our Empowering Youth Through Entrepreneurship (EYTE) program. Participants learn the basics of starting a business, managing finances, marketing, and creating sustainable business models. Our student-run venture, Sugary Stop, allows youth to gain practical experience by running a small business in a supportive environment.
4. Career Exploration and Skill Development:
We introduce youth to diverse career pathways, from healthcare to behavioral health, technology, and more. Our Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Workforce Development Program and Behavioral Health Career Pathways provide specialized training and certifications for youth interested in entering high-demand fields. These programs are designed to help them start their careers early with the right skills and qualifications.
