Independent Means Inc.

Launch Prep
Santa Barbara, CA

Many of today's twentysomethings now face a paralyzing task: deciding what they want to do and how to get there. Compounding their challenge: unemployment is at its highest rate in over twenty years. Cruising job posting boards just isn’t enough to get a job let alone a great one.

Independent Means' Launch Prep is an inspiring and practical two-day workshop based in Santa Barbara, CA, that helps young people develop intentional plans for careers, education, and exploration. In intimate sessions we arm them with tools to make the best of their assets and talents.
