ABOUT US
Our Generation Cares is a movement driven by the passion and dedication of young entrepreneurs and grassroots efforts to promote positive youth development, financial wellness, and health. The collective journey of this movement aims to create a brighter future for generations through innovative programs and initiatives.
Our organization aims to provide comprehensive apprenticeship programs that equip underserved youth (ages 14-24) with occupational skills and an entrepreneurial mindset, specifically targeting transition-aged youth in the foster care system.
By developing and implementing our programs, we hope to empower and inspire a generation of social entrepreneurs who will create positive change in their communities, break structural inequities in financial and youth welfare systems, and foster sustainable communities.
