Daquan Oliver, founder of the nonprofit WeThrive (formerly called Recesspreneurs), emails, “WeThrive is a collective of undergrads who mentor and teach life skills through entrepreneurship to youth from low-income households. Last year we raised $120,000, including $20,000 from the Westly Foundation as winners of its competition for solutions to community problems. The funds will support team building and programming efforts.” Daquan was named to The Boston Globe’s Jan. 6 list, “21 Fresh Faces and Bold Ideas from Boston.”
