THE NATION'S FIRST REAL ESTATE FOCUSED YOUTH DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION TEACHES REAL ESTATE LITERACY TO YOUTH AGES 11-27 
 

Los Angeles, CA  -- Real Estate 100 Youth Foundation empowers communities by educating youth about real estate. The non-profit organization introduces youth to careers in real estate as a means of long-term wealth building.

This groundbreaking program offers workshops, online instruction and an internship program centered around real estate literacy. Recognizing an unmet need for minorities to learn about real estate was the impetus for its inception.

"During the financial housing crisis of 2008, when I saw black and brown people targeted, I said, 'If we want to do different, we need to teach our children,'" says founder of Real Estate 100, Lisa Puerto. "As we're teaching the youth, we want them to be able to identify with someone who looks like them, in the industry."
