Mission Statement
META24 and MZUZI have been solving problems of violence, trauma, and unemployment through unique workforce development pipelines. We teach students to become entrepreneurs and provide opportunities to develop transferable skills. Our students run huge gardens, makers spaces, and have a brick and mortar and online store. What they do not have is a network and the flexibility to travel where they want to in order to sales products. We have created a unique way for you to bring their stories and products into your home and work through our support mechanism. https://mzuzi.solutions/support/ Products purchased provide jobs and opportunities for our youth. We focus on alternative and adjudicated young folks from middle school to 25. No real experience needed, just a will to help our youth. Job Type: Commission
