DevelopU needs your help in raising $50,000.

Every year thousands of high school seniors graduate.

Forced to make life-changing decisions such as what to do next. Rather than going to college or the military, a significant number of students choose independence. As schools work hard to prepare students for college, there is a lack of emphasis on preparing students for life, because of this fact for those that choose independence. Life tends to be much harder.

Imagine, if every year as students graduate they are paired up with a life-readiness mentor. Other adults, who are in a field who can provide career coaching. Maybe someone aware of deceptive rental practices, can provide insight to first-time renters. Or even someone who can provide personal financing advice.

That's exactly what DevelopU wants to do for emerging adults in Madison.

DevelopU's mission is to foster independence, guide, and empower, emerging adults to navigate the challenges of this critical life stage successfully.

OUR GOAL

DevelopU is a small 501c3 non-profit organization that provides one-on-one mentoring in personal financing, career coaching, and housing assistance to emerging adults aged 18 to 24.

With $50,000 we can:

Provide 10 young adults with 12 months of mentorships
Offer development grants, to aid in the achievement of goals for these emerging adults
Establish DevelopU to ensure continued service to the community and effectiveness in 2024 and 2025.

We have been in development since 2023, and are ready to enter the startup phase of operating. Over the next year, we aim to take on 10 clients and ensure that they build secure foundations in their living and employment situations, as well as develop plans for wealth growth.

In order to accomplish this, it takes resources.
