Project snapshot
CANDY Carter is bridging the wealth gap by equipping middle and high school students, as well as small business owners, with the skills to build and monetize their digital presence. Through a 12-week structured workshop series, participants will gain hands-on experience in branding, niche marketing, social media management, and digital monetization, empowering them to transition from consumers to creators in the digital economy. By focusing on peer-to-peer mentorship and entrepreneurial thinking, TEAM CANDY provides participants with real-world tools for financial independence. The program will serve students from IS 339 in the Bronx and small business owners in areas like Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
