Help Us Create Life-Changing Opportunities

Together, We Will Open Doors for the Next Generation

Every young adult deserves a shot at success. Too often, emerging talent is shut out of life-changing career opportunities. LaunchPad is here to change that. Through the Dream Big campaign, LaunchPad’s goal is to serve 1,000 young adults and place 50 life-changing internships this year—but we need your help to make it happen.

LaunchPad's operating expenses are generously funded by our Board and institutional investors. 100% of your gift goes directly to our program and its participants.

Your support matters

📉 The Opportunity Gap is VERY Real

  • Opportunity is distributed and reinforced along socioeconomic lines

  • Today, less than half of children will grow up to earn more than their parents

  • Economic mobility happens early in careers and then quickly disappears
