About Ignite
Impact

Ignite Impact’s flagship initiative is called CREATE. This project engages cause-driven youth and provides them with opportunities and resources to showcase their creativity as well as serve their communities. Through a robust model that emphasizes financial empowerment and character development, CREATE participants can expect to emerge competitively in a global market upon completion of our program. They will discover and use their individual and collective talents for positive change in society. Our innovative curriculum and strategic partnerships will help us meet participants where they are and successfully guide them to where they’ve dreamed of going.

 

The power of clear vision and collective effort is a catalyst force behind Ignite Impact’s ethos of generosity and belonging. We endeavor to become a hub for gifted young thinkers and entrepreneurs to invent products and services that stimulate economic growth towards a new green sustainable city for everyone. Our success as a company is measured by the advancement of new relevant businesses, so we will invest vigorously from ideation to impact to promote our vision of widespread wealth and wellness within communities.

It is my belief that every individual has a unique story and path that, when embraced, can enrich their own lives while helping people around them. Ignite Impact’s primary aim is to understand and unlock the power of creativity in traditionally overlooked and underserved youth, so they in turn can do the same for others. Maya Angelou said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” This quote resonates, because prior to a leap of faith in starting Ignite Impact, my big ideas were largely dormant in my head, and I desperately wanted to express them to the world. Now, my unhidden talents will assist young people with optimizing inner gifts on their individual paths to greatness.
