5 social justice-focused funding and mentorship opportunities for young people! ??
Welcome to Opportunities for Young People, a newsletter for Gen Z. Each week, I intentionally curate resources for my friends and community to help them grow as leaders and professionals. My hope is that these opportunities will help you all to feel confident in yourself and your place in the workforce, just as similar opportunities did for me.

WHY I DO THIS:
I started learning about and sharing (mainly youth-focused) social justice opportunities on social media in 2019 beside Genz Girl Gang ?and have been obsessed with doing so ever since. These opportunities have helped me grow as a leader and professional, and I love increasing their visibility.
