Project Title: Urban Survival Club Entrepreneurship Pipeline
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Urban Survival Club\u2019s Entrepreneurship Pipeline is a 12-week, cohort-based program designed to equip African American youth in Omaha with the skills, mentorship, and practical experience needed to pursue economic ownership and leadership. Serving youth ages 7-18, the program focuses on neighborhoods disproportionately impacted by poverty and limited access to wealth-building opportunities.<\/p>\n
Participants engage in weekly workshops that combine financial literacy, business formation education, branding development, and digital commerce training. Youth learn how to build credit, understand taxes, structure a business, develop pricing strategies, and create sustainable revenue models. The program emphasizes applied learning, ensuring that participants move beyond theory into actionable business development.<\/p>\n
Local Black entrepreneurs and business leaders serve as guest facilitators and mentors, providing culturally relevant guidance and real-world insight. Through structured business labs, youth develop a formal business plan, financial projections, brand identity, and a professional pitch presentation.<\/p>\n
The program culminates in a community Pitch Showcase event where participants present their business concepts to local leaders and supporters. Select youth receive small startup micro-grants to pilot their ventures, reinforcing the pathway from idea to income.<\/p>\n
This initiative promotes economic empowerment and contributes to violence prevention by increasing positive adult mentorship, strengthening leadership skills, and expanding legal income opportunities. By equipping youth with practical tools for entrepreneurship and ownership, Urban Survival Club is building economic confidence, long-term resilience, and a stronger foundation for African American youth in Omaha.<\/p>\n
