How REAP Inc.’s Intuitive Programs Level the Playing Field for the Underprivileged Youth

Even though most people dream of a society with a level playing field, the reality remains that not everyone has equal opportunities. Statistics show that many of those who come from poverty will accomplish significantly less than those who are born into affluent families. Aware of this, one inspiring venture based in Portland has been dedicated to helping the youth from low-income communities find success.

Since its inception in 2001, REAP Inc. has offered services designed to mold resilient and empowered leaders who are not afraid to go after their dreams. Most recently, the enterprise has shifted its focus on helping school communities wherein a significant number of families are in challenging economic circumstances and non-English speakers.

What motivated the brand to pursue such noble advocacy is its realization that children of these families often face the most challenging experience in navigating school and life. As such, REAP Inc. has developed intuitive subjects and modules that are rooted in five key facets: Leadership, Student Voice, Cooperative Management (Conflict Resolution), and Entrepreneurship. 

The organization thoroughly explained, “The REAP Solution program is a 10-month leadership curriculum open to students from all backgrounds and cultures. The curriculum provides an extensive series of interactive leadership modules focused on civics, education, health, business, and entrepreneurship. In addition, program offerings are focused on specialized, applied learning approaches emphasizing writing, speaking, reading, and inquiry.”

Because of its incredible courses, its students learn leadership skills both in school and the community. Specifically, it helps them cultivate a strong set of skills, including communication, problem-solving, negotiation, and teamwork. On top of that, REAP has a Young Entrepreneurs Program or YEP, which “creates opportunities for students to unleash their innovation and explore ways to create their own wealth to become self-sufficient.”

Aside from its well-thought-out programs, what makes the organization stand out is its flexibility and versatility. It had demonstrated an incredible commitment to innovation, especially during the pandemic when it had to adapt to various changes quickly. Looking back on the experience, the venture proudly shared, ” Transitioning REAP programs to a virtual setting has been costly, but 100% worth it for our students. Donations play an integral role in helping us to maintain, develop, and strengthen the quality of our online offerings.”

Given this, REAP Inc. is hoping to connect with more groups or individuals, including federal funders, CEOs, philanthropists, social change agents and organizations, NGOs, and donors who share the same vision of guiding the youth towards success. 

Moving forward, the company intends to broaden its horizons and reach a wider audience so it can help change more lives. In line with this goal, the organization is already planning on expanding to new districts and states. In addition, it is working on creating world-class eLearning and afterschool programs. Above all, it hopes to continue its advocacy of building strong youth leaders who can create a more progressive future.

Wealth Assistants Offers Service that Helps Clients Experience a Financial Breakthrough in Amazon

The pandemic has made it difficult to grow one’s financial assets. However, it is also because of the pandemic that building real wealth became more accessible than ever, so long as people knew the proper steps. With the help of the right financial partners, people would be able to make the best financial decisions that would grow their money. That is what Ryan Carroll, founder of Wealth Assistants, firmly believes. 

Ryan Carroll is a twenty-six-year-old businessman who founded Wealth Assistants in late 2021 because people need more money, and they need it quicker than ever before due to inflation being at an all-time high. The company Wealth Assistants is a modern-day wealth management service helping people build a well-diversified portfolio of cash-flowing assets that are 99% managed by their operational teams. The company operates efficiently through its “DFY” or “done-for-you” services. This marker means investors get to make entirely passive income without worrying about personally getting involved in all the operations of the businesses they’re investing in. 

Wealth Assistants’ primary investment vehicle is for its holders via Amazon stores, where investors get to own an Amazon store that is completely managed for them by the Wealth Assistants team. Ryan has a seven-figure Amazon operations team of over five hundred people. The goal with owning an Amazon store is to get a new stream of entirely passive income greater than ten thousand dollars a month and exit the business for a three to five multiple. 

On top of that, Wealth Assistants has funding partners which allow investors to use “Other People’s Money” at 0% interest rates when obtaining these new cash-flowing Amazon stores.

Ryan Carroll skipped the traditional “go to college” to get a nine-to-five job and instead went down his path leading him to sell products online at a young age. He now has seven years of ecommerce experience to date. Moreover, millions of dollars in sold products have led him to establish Wealth Assistants, which focuses on bringing emerging assets to investors with cash flow greater than traditional assets.

As Wealth Assistants grow their network and gather momentum for a bigger market under Ryan’s leadership, they are looking at helping men ages 40 to 65 who consider themselves as sophisticated inventors aiming to diversify their portfolio and nine-to-five workers that want to start investing or planning for retirement.

What makes Wealth Assistants stand out in the saturated industry is their moneyback guarantee. Specifically with Amazon, if their investors do not at least break even in year one on their investment, the company will pay them back the difference. “This brings peace of mind for our investors as it de-risks the investment and guarantees them success. We have this in place solely due to our confidence in being able to build profitable Amazon stores for our clients,” says Ryan.

Ryan realized that bringing in investors and having them fund the business startups would help them expand their ecommerce portfolio quicker, which also adds overall significant evaluation for the company. “Wealth Assistants is a win-win for our partners with their guaranteed revenue and our company valuation.”
