Barriers Are Holding Them Back
Too many young people in Los Angeles face:
No access to financial education or career guidance
A lack of mentors who believe in them.
Systemic barriers that limit their future before it begins.
Without intervention, these youth are trapped in cycles of poverty and missed potential.
We Believe in Their Potential
At Kaimore, we understand the struggle. We’ve helped hundreds of youth gain financial literacy, build real-world experience, and develop confidence. Our proven programs transform potential into purpose—and dreams into careers.
Your donation will help young people like Anita.
A Market Ready Success Story
Anita came to Kaimore unsure of what her future could look like. She began her journey through our summer shaved ice internship, learning customer service, budgeting, and the basics of entrepreneurship.
Inspired, she enrolled in our Business Blueprint (Business 101) masterclass, where she developed her first full business plan — an expansion of the shaved ice business she ran during the internship.
With hard work and support, Anita presented her plan at Pitch Day, our Shark Tank–style competition. She won $900 in seed funding to grow her business.
Today, Anita is continuing her entrepreneurial journey with one-on-one mentorship from Julie, a Kaimore board member and Pitch Day judge. She’s using her award funds to expand her shaved ice venture and explore new opportunities.
Stories like Anita’s are only possible because of donors like you.
