These young creators are not just making things -- they are developing real-world skills that can open doors for their futures.

Young women and men are getting a helping hand with building their future thanks to the programs of Atlantic Impact.

Anise Hayes is the co-founder and executive director of Atlantic Impact, a student-focused program designed to provide urban youth with rewarding experiences in education, travel and career.

Black executives came together to create a new alliance to empower each other and the youth.
