Education & Training
GED preparation, tutoring, pathways to higher education, vocational education and professional certifications.
Learning, mentorship, career development and everyday life skills—all in one supportive community.
A proposed part of the Do Hard Things campus; programs and providers are not yet confirmed.
At Do Hard Things, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and build a meaningful, independent life. Our vision is to make education and practical life-skills resources accessible to the entire community—including people returning from incarceration, individuals in recovery, young adults, parents and anyone ready for a fresh start.

Exploring business ideas, understanding self-employment, business planning and connecting with experienced mentors.

Do Hard Things does not need to operate every program itself. The Mall of Dreams is envisioned as a place where established nonprofits, educators, community organizations and other qualified partners can bring their expertise together.
For example, a future clubhouse-style nonprofit or another experienced community partner might provide classes, employment preparation, mentorship or life-skills instruction. Our role is to help create the space, connections and coordinated access that make these services easier to find.
Partnerships and program operators will be identified and confirmed as the campus develops. No specific organization is being represented as a current provider or formal partner.
Our work is already being informed by real-life, one-on-one mentorship and community involvement. Read about Mentorship in Action →
