Across the country, creative nonprofits are helping young people overcome barriers and build brighter futures. In this webinar, you’ll hear from two leaders using hands-on, empowering “earn-it” models to reach youth in poverty:
Becky O’Mara, Co-Founder of Bearings Bike Works in Atlanta, where youth earn bikes by repairing and building them—learning confidence, discipline, and real-world skills.
Ismael Hernandez, Founder and President of the Freedom & Virtue Institute and visionary behind their Self-Reliance Clubs program, where students create entrepreneurial projects to fund school supplies and achieve personal goals.
You’ll also hear from Bethany Herron of True Charity, who will present True Charity’s newest Model Action Plan (MAP) outlining Youth Earn-It Models. She’ll share practical guidance on how to launch programs like Becky’s and Ismael’s in your own community to empower young people, unlock their potential, and help break cycles of generational poverty.
