DREAMing Big: Youth Entrepreneurship Workshop Sparks Innovation and Self-Discovery
ActionDignity held a youth entrepreneurship workshop with 11 Black and Racialized youth (ages 14–26) in partnership with Struggle is Your Success (SIYS) on May 9, 2025. With a Harvard thinking design approach, the workshop brought the youth to a space for innovation and deep reflection on DREAMing. (The framework was broken down into Drive, Resilience, Elevation, Aspiration and Momentum).
This was not only a workshop, but also a mindset revolution. The youth didn’t just learn how to build a business — they discovered how to build themselves. From branding to purpose, from passion to strategy, the room was alive with ideas, courage, and clarity.
A special highlight: all workshop participants were offered a free, exclusive one-on-one coaching session with our phenomenal facilitator, Musap (Moose) Abdel from SIYS! We extend our heartfelt thanks to our partner, Struggle is Your Success (SIYS) and all the youth who showed up, engaged fully, and committed to growing through community, learning, and action.
