Project snapshot
Ownership Is The Future is launching Youth Power Rising: Social Entrepreneurship in Action, a youth-led campaign that brings student-owned businesses into community spaces. Through a traveling Social Entrepreneurship Market in Canarsie and Brownsville, students will showcase ventures from eco-clean-up teams to tech-based solutions. Additional events, including a Youth Innovation Day and Community Build Lab, will invite residents to collaborate in workshops and demos. The project promotes civic engagement, cultivates student leadership, and fosters youth-driven economic transformation while highlighting stories through youth-led media.
