Re:LIFE Incorporated

Re:LIFE Inc's mission is to empower youth through entrepreneurship and education, especially disconnected and at-risk youth. We are dedicated to the provision of the needed training, motivation and opportunities necessary for empowering youth in New York City.

Re:LIFE Inc. aims to tackle the problems of youth disconnection, poverty, educational and opportunity divide, and socioeconomic over-dependence. Our main objective is to improve the socioeconomic well-being of youth living in low income communities starting in Harlem and Washington Heights. As such, our proposed solutions to these problems involve the effective implementation of Re:LIFE’s programs that will connect people living in high poverty communities to the opportunities and support that they need to succeed.
