Hope Beyond Borders has been awarded a $20,000 grant from NBC10, Telemundo62, and Comcast NBCUniversal Foundation as a part of the Project Innovation Grant Challenge. The funding will support Soap for Hope, a youth entrepreneurial training initiative that equips middle- and high school students in Coatesville, Pa., with the entrepreneurial mindset and skillsets to help them flourish in today's marketplace. The social enterprise is a youth-operated online store, direct sales and fundraising, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefitting children and youth in their program.
The Soap for Hope Youth Social Enterprise program started as a fundraiser in 2013. Since then, it has grown into a youth entrepreneur course with an online shop. Students raise money, are taught important entrepreneurial skills and learn the process of soap making. Schools, clubs, teams, and organizations can fundraise with Soap for Hope Fundraising. 100% of all the profits go to helping children and youth flourish.
