Leave A Legacy
Program Design
Our entrepreneurship program stimulates the mind and propels students to dream big through practical experience. They learn how to effectively run a business on the operations, marketing, and product development teams that are created.
Our program design utilizes a four prong approach to engage young people to create a successful entrepreneurial enterprise. The four components include Skill development, Research, Product Development and Product Launch.

We Went Virtual
Due to the global pandemic we switched our curriculum from in person to virtual to meet the needs of the current climate. The young people wanted to raise awareness for causes such as human rights, gentrification, sex trafficking, etc. They created a presentation, created commercials, and sold masks to raise money for their cause.
Here are a few examples and the two winners:
Past Programs:
Broadway Family Plaza
The 1 Percent Mindset partnered with Fedcap and Broadway Family Plaza to bring The Leave A Legacy Program to 18 young people (14-15 years old) and they created a t-shirt line that represented how they felt about themselves.
The T-Shirt line is “Royalty Of The City” because they consider themselves as young Kings and Queens. They worked for 6 weeks learning about entrepreneurship, their mission and how to work as a team to complete this project.
They had a Pop Up Shop in their community and sold out all of their printed t-shirts in 2 hours. The program was a huge success and Broadway Family Plaza did a write up on it for their website.
Here are some past participants of the Leave a Legacy program
