OGC COMMITMENT

Our Generation Cares has an abundance of passion to address specific social issues that impact our communities. We believe in safeguarding inclusive safe spaces that encourage knowledge, creativity, and expression. We’ve taken important steps to better understand the needs of our community, identifying what systems are not working and where we are falling short, and ensuring we have solid policies and programs in place in the spirit of continual unlearning and learning.
These intentions roar from the heart of our founders, to the innovations we source, the entrepreneurs we support, and the youth we inspire – reflect your heart into your hustle.

Our Generation Cares (OGC) started grassroots work with first generation entrepreneurs in early 2020 in the city Long Beach - we had no idea how far or gratifying our intentions would be! We began by volunteering our professional services to restaurateurs who were in the brink of bankruptcy due to COVID-19 business mandated restrictions. Through community outreach and innovation, we were able to raise a total of $50K+ in a short time and were fortunate to be on the Ellen DeGeneres Show in April 2021. In a matter of weeks to months we've fully renovated and grown from the walls and parking lot of our venue and incubator, to our new temple of passion - Grace on 3rd Community Center in Long Beach, CA.
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS


OUR WORK
Social entrepreneurs are risk-takers and innovators that establish either for-profit or not-for-profit organizations addressing social or environmental needs using sound business principles. We start with the reality of youth’s experience and combine this with a deep understanding of the systems that surround all of us, and in every community, youth can be leaders in the field of social change. By leveraging mentorship programs and enrichment opportunities - we analyze and implement creative solutions to complex social problems within marginalized communities.
OUR FOCUS
We believe we have a social responsibility to the next generation. The next generation values human dignity is cooperative, conscious and caring. The next generation is redefining what success looks like and reshaping markets while empowering voices.
