The Vision
The first Building Bosses was held in 2018 and was completely self founded. The event consisted of teens 12 to 18, coming to hear subject matter experts give overviews in the areas of health and wellness, resume building, interview tips, presenting yourself, and motivation. The goal was to provide insight to the teens about the transition into young adulthood. In 2019, the organization took time to regroup. In 2020, Building Bosses came back with a different focus, to address current issues directly impacting teens, mental health, social media, gang and gun violence.
Additionally we showcased youth entrepreneurs and local talent. From then on, each year, the focus would shift to address the current climate and needs of our youth. Most recently, Building Bosses focused on life after high school hosting hands-on workshops identifying various career paths and opportunities.
