 "about": "FOUNDER, DONAVAN JACKSON\nStudent President & Social Media Director\nAbout Empowered to Achieve\nToo often, young people are described as vulnerable, disadvantaged, or underserved. At Empowered to Achieve, we are determined to flip the narrative, instead we see them for what they truly are: UNDERESTIMATED!\nEmpowered to Achieve (ETA) is a student-led, community-based nonprofit founded by Donavan Jackson when he was just 16 years old and a junior in high school. The organization was born from a deeply personal realization: too many young people facing adversity don\u2019t see a clear path forward and no one is consistently walking beside them to help them imagine what\u2019s possible.\nAfter losing a close friend to cancer, Donavan began thinking seriously about the his future \u00a0and that of his peers. He noticed how many students around him felt stuck, overwhelmed, and uncertain about life after high school. \u00a0For many of his peers college wasn\u2019t always the answer, and \u00a0neither was being left without guidance, support, or a sense of direction.\nEmpowered to Achieve was created to change that!\nETA exists to help young people understand that their future matters. No matter which path they choose., whether a student pursues college, vocational training, entrepreneurship, workforce development, or decides to \u00a0choose military service, we believe they deserve preparation, mentorship,, encouragement and support to step into adulthood with confidence, purpose, and the ability to give back.\nToday, as a senior in high school, Donavan remains deeply committed to this mission and is intentionally building a structure that will outlast him. Through the expansion development of \u00a0ETA's Community Student Council and leadership hubs within cities across the Coachella Valley, Empowered to Achieve is creating a sustainable model where students support students, today and for generations to come. Our work is not only about helping students plan for their future, but also about cultivating a culture who understands the value of service, leadership, and community impact.\nFunds raised through CV Giving Day directly support student programming, mentorship initiatives, educational resources, and leadership opportunities that keep youth voices at the center of everything we do.\nTogether, we are empowering the next generation to achieve more because being underestimated should never define a future!!",
