Testimonies
"I think If I could have gone back in time and told my nine year old self about an online thrift shop that I helped to create I don't think she would have believed me. I always was ambitious in one way or another but I felt like I never had the tools to make it a reality. The barrier against my dreams was always the uncertainty and the fact that many people believed that I would amount to nothing. Those people had given up on me before I had even gotten the chance to show my true potential. Impact Toolbox through this program presented me with an opportunity I could have never imagined."

"We were building an online school thrift store with the help of Impact Toolbox through coaching and strategy sessions. It was tremendous help as we were taught step by step in detail with advice and received helpful feedback from an experienced professional. When it comes to entrepreneurship and leadership, I am usually easily intimidated. However, the stories from others' experiences we were told made me realize that it is not as bad as I thought, and I am more capable than I thought."

Implementation Plan
- The fellowship is for teens between 13 to 19 years old. It is highly inclusive and prioritizes diversity. We strongly encourage the participation of girls, minority youths, and teens living with disabilities.
- We partner with schools, community centres and other organizations serving youth to implement the F3 fellowship.
- The F3 has been designed to be flexible, adaptable and customizable to the circumstances of diverse youth communities.
- The three parts of the fellowship are delivered remotely through a blend of live and pre-recorded training sessions. Depending on our partner(s), we host on-site convening and workshop sessions.
- Partner identifies and nominates a cohort of students and provides support throughout the program.
- Although we prefer to work with registered charities or other qualified donees, we are always happy to partner with any non-profits and mission-oriented for-profits that are working towards a better future for our youth.
