Operation: ADULTING™ is a NY based non-profit formed & run by millennials with first hand experience at "I-wish-I-would've-known-that-sooner", epiphanies! We connect budding adults with meaningful real-world learning experiences to effectively prepare them for careers in technology-driven fields, discussing everything from avoiding the pitfalls of college debt to properly negotiating hiring contracts utilising VR technology.
Thrive Global calls Operation: ADULTing a non-profit DISRUPTOR but we're mostly here to answer the question: "What piece of advice could've been useful if you would've had access to it earlier in life?!"
{Givenname}, At Operation: ADULTing™ we believe young adults should be better equipped with decisions that spell out the rest of their lives. O: A was formed to be a non-profit for change that relieves the under-privileged and eliminate prejudice within urban under-represented, marginalised & LGBTQIA+ communities while combating community deterioration across the five (5) boroughs by:
- building confidence in high school & college aged students by providing mentorship through various virtual & IRL (once we figure out what IS actually going on) opportunities
- amplifing confidence by encouraging shared learning & the importance of developing a human resource library
- promoting positive mental health through our ID2021 course focusing on mindfulness
- instilling goal setting, financial literacy and the importance of both their civil and digital identities
Our mission curates interactive & VR programmes to ensure a more level playing field in order to close the gap of financial literacy amongst other #adulting things! We assist diverse under-represented & marginalised high school & college seniors with navigating adulthood upon leaving the orbits of high school & college while introducing them to other diverse innovators.
From STE[A]M specific cohorts to our highly anticipated annual fundraising activities (socially distant + community safe Assassin games, Central Park water gun fights and more!) we're focused on building a community to empower these young peeps one generation at a time!
Let's shape these young minds together!
