Youth Kingdom Purpose University

Real Business. Real Support. Real Growth.

Our Academy prepares young people ages 16–24 to thrive as leaders, employees, and business owners. Through mentorship, certifications, and paid work-based learning, students gain the tools to succeed in high-demand industries while building confidence and vision for their future.

Why It Matters

Many young adults face barriers to employment and lack pathways to entrepreneurship.
South Bend’s economy needs skilled workers in hospitality, barbering, customer service, and business management.
Youth who work while learning are more likely to graduate, avoid poverty, and become long-term contributors to their communities.

We walk with youth beyond the first year to help them grow, scale, and thrive.
