How We're Helping
WellVentions, a job ready training and career exposure program,
is administered by ProsperRochester, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit social enterprise organization.
Over the past 8 years, we have delivered programming to 400+ Rochester youth from a variety of city and charter schools.
Our youth entrepreneurs field train and run their indoor café at the Rochester Public Market,
where they sell their specialty food products and
acquire the confidence, business skills, and stamina to successfully transition into a work environment.
Building a Community of Social Entrepreneurs, One Youth at a Time
We are extremely proud of all of the youth who have been involved in the WellVentions program. Whether they're inventing new recipes to evolve the WellVentions business training model for future generations, supporting suicide prevention with an act of kindness and 3+ million supporters, working on a Trauma Healing App so youth can access their safety plan quickly, or starting a food pantry; Wellventions youth are contributing to our community, With your help, their legacy will live on!

Before we closed our doors to keep everyone safe, our youth had begun development of anger management programs and products. See what we are up to with our new online partner: Pointii!
We are securing funding in order to develop online social emotional learning in conjunction with our new partner, Pointii. We will offer jobs and incentives for youth to complete work-readiness levels online, while they create soft-skill products and programming. They will discover career options which match their interests, and can build their online profile and resume for employment.
