Education With a Profit teaches youth entrepreneurship by giving students the chance to design, create, and sell custom apparel through real online businesses. This hands-on learning—digital and physical—builds ownership, responsibility, and real-world business skills.
Recently, our production center, where student products are printed and fulfilled, suffered a major setback. A long-term roof leak caused severe mold damage, and a partial roof collapse forced us to move all equipment into storage.
Without our production space, delivery times are delayed and costs have increased due to renting outside facilities. This reduces student profits and removes the hands-on experience our program depends on. In-house production improves quality, speeds delivery, and allows us to pay students higher commissions—directly increasing what they earn while learning.
We are seeking support to:
- Reopen in-house apparel production
- Repair and rebuild the roof
- Remove mold and install safe HVAC systems
- Create dedicated classroom and production areas
- Open a cafeteria to provide healthy meals for students
Our goal is to restore this space so students can learn how products are created from start to finish, safely and actively. The video on this page shows how early youth can begin learning entrepreneurship—the children featured are my own, representing what's possible with access and opportunity.
Your support protects a program where youth learn, earn, and create something real from beginning to end.
