''We grew up in low-income homes, watching our parents feel stuck in jobs they didn’t love. We knew we wanted more—and believed others did too. But as we stepped into the workforce, especially in the South, we saw how hard it was to find real opportunities. We made it our mission to change that. We started building meaningful connections, and we’re still growing—so that young people and adults alike can break through barriers, unlock their potential, and keep moving forward." - Founders of Initiative Enterprises
