#TURNUPRI, a youth empowerment and leadership summit in Rhode Island, is grateful for the sponsorship from Farouk Ajakaiye, Executive Director of Next Generation & Futures, for their upcoming youth summit and career conference. This significant contribution from Next Generation & Futures is allocated towards a novel initiative — providing pre-registered participants with gift card stipends, a first in the event's history. The summit anticipates around 100 youths to pre-register, benefiting from this generous sponsorship.
