SayPro, in partnership with the United States Peace Corps, is supporting the formation of youth-run social enterprises that drive community development and financial empowerment. SayPro believes young people are uniquely positioned to identify and solve local problems through business models that prioritize social good. These enterprises combine innovation with purpose, offering services or products while addressing societal challenges. SayPro provides training in entrepreneurship, leadership, and sustainable business practices. With support from Peace Corps volunteers, SayPro helps young leaders gain access to networks, mentorship, and capital. Together, they create a culture of youth-led impact and long-term economic resilience.
SayPro partners with schools, youth groups, and local organizations to identify aspiring entrepreneurs and incubate their ideas into viable enterprises. These businesses often focus on areas like environmental protection, education, and community services. SayPro equips youth with planning tools, digital marketing skills, and financial literacy training. Peace Corps volunteers contribute by guiding business plan development and facilitating peer learning exchanges. SayPro emphasizes that social entrepreneurship isn’t just about profits—it’s about creating meaningful solutions. Through these initiatives, SayPro fosters confidence, innovation, and social responsibility among the next generation of change-makers.
SayPro ensures inclusivity in its programs by supporting young women, rural youth, and marginalized groups to participate fully in the social enterprise movement. By removing barriers such as lack of capital and access to information, SayPro levels the playing field. Peace Corps volunteers engage in community outreach to recruit diverse participants and help customize programs to local needs. SayPro helps youth navigate legal and operational aspects of running a business. These enterprises go on to create jobs, deliver services, and improve lives, reflecting SayPro’s commitment to sustainable, youth-driven development.
SayPro Charity NPO believes that when young people are empowered to lead, communities thrive. Through youth-run social enterprises, SayPro transforms potential into progress. In collaboration with the Peace Corps, SayPro nurtures purpose-driven entrepreneurs who are solving real-world challenges with creativity and heart. This work embodies SayPro’s values of innovation, empowerment, and collaboration. By investing in youth-led businesses, SayPro builds stronger, more equitable economies and inspires a new generation to lead with integrity and impact.
