Our solution's stage of development:

Pre-Seed

Our solution:

Connect youth in financial difficulty to local homeowners for temporary work such as garden work. This allows the youth to achieve financial independence while gaining experiences, building connections. This can be done through a web app, allowing people from all over the world to access the platform.

Our pitch:

We’re working on a platform to help youths in difficult financial situations escape their situation through connecting them to homeowners in the community for work such as garden work or house work. They’re trapped in the cycle of poverty by the pre-conceived biases and their lack of experience. Ignitr, is focusing on these root causes, and finding a sustainable solution; the youth would gain financial independence, work experience, valuable connections in the community and written recommendations for future interviews. We recognize that this isn't a permanent solution for the youth, but we want to be that crucial step that gives the youth the confidence and skills to pursue their careers. There are homeowners in cities all across the world, this can be implemented on a large scale and can help youths across the world gain financial independence and the skills and connections to succeed!

The problem:

Youths in financial difficulty are often unable to find work due to lack of experience, no income or education. These issues tie into one another and can often lead to the youth giving up their goals and settling for less.

Why our solution will solve the problem:

We're already actively working with local youths and shelters, we've talked to the youths using this and they've provided us with confirmation that this was boosting their self-confidence, their ability to communicate and supported them financially.
