🚀 Empowering the Next Generation to Think Forward

The Start Strong: Life Skills for Work and Wealth Summit is not just an event- it’s a movement. Designed by 5Y4WD (Five Years Forward), this dynamic half-day experience invites students to boldly envision their futures and take practical steps toward success in work, wealth, and personal growth.

Whether you’re dreaming of launching a business, landing your first job, or simply figuring out your next move, this rally is your launchpad.

💡 Why It Matters

This rally is more than a workshop – it’s a wake-up call. It’s about helping young adults ask the big questions:
Where do I want to be in five years? What’s my plan? How do I get there?
And then giving them the tools, mentorship, and momentum to answer with clarity and purpose.
