What is Momentum Makers?
Momentum Makers is a youth-led nonprofit built on a simple idea — knowledge can travel farther than money.
​
We take the time, skills, and expertise (not money) of successful professionals volunteers and turn them into income that funds education.
​
Our student volunteers work alongside professionals to create and market knowledge-based offerings — like advisory sessions, masterclasses, articles and consulting projects — to individuals and companies who want that expertise. The individuals and companies pay for access to these services and our platform.
​
The income generated from these activities goes directly into the Momentum Makers Fund, which provides scholarships and essential resources for high-potential students in under-resourced communities — the kind of students whose success can uplift entire families and generations.
We focus on a small number of exceptional students to create deeper, compounding impact.
