Solid Foundation Certification

Solid Foundation Certification is a proprietary, mindset-first initiative to change the self-development of Black males ages 12–26. This certification addresses self-efficacy, the value of a life, entrepreneurship, environmental trauma extraction, civic engagement, merchandising, consequences and conflict resolution, and financial literacy. The pilot is built on data showing that personal development must come before soft or hard skills for long-term success. It is tailored for individuals in high-crime communities; those with incarcerated family members; students (middle school, high school, college); dropouts; individuals involved in street life or gangs; and those aspiring to make money, gain fame, and be their own boss.
