    Description

    Founding Volunteer Team Member | Help Build an Employment Coaching and Life Skills Nonprofit

    Dream. Grow. Achieve.

    Above Barriers is an emerging nonprofit initiative being built to offer career guidance, job readiness, life skills, and so much more to underprivileged youth.

    I am currently in the early stages of developing Above Barriers, including the nonprofit formation, program curriculum, community partnerships, digital learning resources, and organizational structure.

    And I don't want to build it alone.

    I'm looking for passionate, creative, community-minded people who are excited by the idea of helping shape a nonprofit from the ground up.

    What I'm Building

    Above Barriers is being developed to provide accessible personal development, life-skills, career-readiness, and empowerment programming for people at different stages of life.

    Our future programs will combine interactive learning, workshops, mentorship, community resources, and practical tools that help participants develop confidence, identify goals, build skills, overcome barriers, and create pathways toward the lives they want.

    Who I'm Looking For

    Potential collaborators may have interests or experience in areas such as:

    • Youth development and mentoring
    • Education and curriculum development
    • Career development and workforce readiness
    • Community outreach
    • Nonprofit development
    • Fundraising and grant writing
    • Marketing and social media
    • Graphic design and creative projects
    • Event planning
    • Volunteer coordination
    • Community partnerships
    • Technology and online learning
