Unlocking Potential through a Growth Mindset

“Lessons that cultivate a growth mindset are transformational. The youth we work with have experienced challenges at a very early age. This, coupled with limited access to education, impacts their self-esteem. Through our bootcamps, young people begin to envision themselves as entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs face setbacks. What matters is that you keep going and learn as you move forward. I’ve witnessed participants shift their view of what’s possible for their lives and I am really proud of all they’re achieving.”
