Empowered Innovation Alliance Launches ‘Building Resilience’ to Empower Foster Youth & Human Trafficking Survivors through Apprenticeship Preparation & Entrepreneurship

United States, 15th Feb 2025 – The Empowered Innovation Alliance (EIA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by artist-researcher and social innovator Yvette Dubel, is launching its first initiative, Building Resilience, to equip foster youth aging out of the system and survivors of human trafficking with skills for long-term stability. This groundbreaking program provides hands-on entrepreneurial training combined with art based mental wellness, helping participants advance self-sufficiency and future green career pathways.

In collaboration with Florin Diumea (Bright Business Project), and Janice Rooth (Center Against Racism and Trauma), Building Resilience will integrate the Bright Business Operating System with Dubel’s Empowered Innovation System [CFAaP] and Personal Innovation Model. This innovative approach blends personal development, business acumen, and mentorship to create sustainable economic opportunities for participants in Remixed Upcycled Fashion in the Inland Empire region.

As a launchpad for Building Resilience, EIA is working with  Lemuel Blackett (Upgrade Philanthropy) to host its first fundraising mixer and Roundtable Event, bringing together key stakeholders—including program participants, community members, business leaders, nonprofit organizations, and policymakers—to forge partnerships, understand needs/opportunities as well as mobilize resources for a 3-year pilot program. This collaborative effort will shape a scalable model to support vulnerable youth aging out of the system and trafficking survivors in rebuilding their lives.

“At Empowered Innovation Alliance, we believe real change starts with empowering individuals to reclaim their futures,” said Yvette Dubel, founder of EIA and creator of the Empowered Innovation System. “With Building Resilience, we’re not just offering a program—we’re fostering a community of support, new opportunities, and innovation that empowers young people to break cycles of vulnerability and build self-sufficient, fulfilling lives.”
