In December, we wrapped up a virtual youth exchange with Haiti focused on entrepreneurship and community impact. Youth participants are building and pitching projects they’ll implement in their home communities, and Kalamazoo professionals helped mentor and guide them. These youth inspire. Their resilience and dedication to building a stronger, thriving Haiti, in deeply challenging times, is truly humbling. 

We’re excited to keep the connections going into 2026 with mentorship and (we hope!) seed funding to support their work.
