Support a startup empowering young adults to reach their potential ⭐
Parle Endeavors: We empower and support young adults through mentorship, scholarships, grants, exposure, and experience. The challenges we aim to address are some of the barriers to entry for young adults. A lack of funding is one of the biggest barriers to entry for young people when they consider going to college. Post-Secondary enrollment is down, albeit for several reasons, but a large factor is the cost of schools.
Mentorship is another barrier for young people. Not having someone who can provide them with support and guidance because they are the first in their family to do something. We seek educational equality, increased opportunities and access to help increase future potential.
Parle Endeavors is a NYC based 501c3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower and support young adults through mentorship, scholarships, grants, exposure, and experience. We give scholarships to young people who want to pursue careers in media, communications, journalism, or business. And we give grants to juniors and seniors in high school who have business ideas.
Scholarship winners and grant winners are partnered with a mentor in their field of interest to help guide them for at least a year, but the hope is that these become lifelong mentors when that young person graduates or when that young person gets their business successfully off the ground.
