<div><strong>SOCIAL ENTERPRISE STRATEGY</strong>

</div>

<div>Innovative Impacts is building a network of youth-centered social enterprises to create jobs in the neighborhoods where young people live.

</div>

<div>Planned initiatives include laundromats, late-hour coffee houses, and retail enterprises such as thrift stores, event production, and maker-spaces. These serve as real-world training labs that teach customer service, financial literacy, leadership, and operations while helping to fund our other programs.
