SayPro, in partnership with the United States Peace Corps, is dedicated to developing youth-run social enterprises that solve community problems while promoting employment and innovation. SayPro believes that young people are not only the leaders of tomorrow but also the changemakers of today. By offering training in entrepreneurship, business planning, and social impact measurement, SayPro equips youth with the skills to launch mission-driven businesses. Peace Corps volunteers mentor young entrepreneurs, helping SayPro bridge the gap between ambition and action. SayPro ensures that youth-led ventures contribute meaningfully to education, health, environment, and economic development.
SayPro hosts boot camps, pitch competitions, and incubation programs in collaboration with Peace Corps teams. These platforms allow youth to refine their ideas, access seed funding, and connect with local investors. SayPro emphasizes inclusivity, encouraging participation from young women, persons with disabilities, and rural youth. SayPro’s model nurtures creativity while fostering responsibility and community engagement. Through these social enterprises, youth gain income and also address social needs, proving that business and community development can go hand in hand. SayPro’s approach reflects its Charity NPO values of innovation, collaboration, and empowerment through action.
SayPro helps link youth enterprises with local markets, schools, NGOs, and government programs. These partnerships ensure sustainability and real-world impact. Peace Corps volunteers provide business development support and assist in monitoring social outcomes. SayPro promotes a circular learning system where experienced youth mentor newcomers, creating a culture of continuous growth. These social businesses often focus on recycling, education access, food security, or tech for good. SayPro is proud to support models where profit supports purpose, and where entrepreneurship is a means to social justice. SayPro believes that social enterprises redefine what youth leadership can achieve.
SayPro evaluates impact using business performance, community feedback, and social impact indicators. These insights help SayPro adapt and improve training models for future cohorts. SayPro, with Peace Corps collaboration, is now building a digital hub to connect youth-led social ventures across regions. This hub will include resources, mentorship, and an e-marketplace. SayPro envisions a world where young innovators drive inclusive development from the grassroots. With this initiative, SayPro fulfills its mission of creating empowered youth leaders who build both sustainable businesses and stronger communities.
