In today’s struggling economy, refugee and immigrant youth face an uphill battle: lost jobs, low wages, and heavy family responsibilities leave little time for academics or passions. At Grind Set Lab, we’re changing that story. We equip youth with the skills, ideas, and tools to launch their own businesses, empowering them to earn income on their own time, excel in school, pursue extracurriculars they love, and support their families with dignity and confidence.
