About Us
Our Team
Our amazing team is filled with liked minded individuals who consistently donate their time, energy and finances to help others in need through out various communities. We are lead by two entrepreneurs who have made it a passion to create this foundation to make powerful change for the homeless, the elderly, the at risk youth and the children who are our future.
Our History
Entrepreneur Life, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2016 by two entrepreneur driven leaders in their community Mr. Andre Alridge & Mrs. Tessa Gerald-Alridge who has worked directly with "At Risk" youth, homeless, bullied youths as well as young adults up to the age of 25 who have children in their communities in New York City.
We approach each child with intent to support, mentor and lead them into being self-sufficient in life. Our overall goal is to help those who needed it while empowering the community with positive humility.
As of 2020 we have expanded our reach to the southeast region of North Carolina + South Carolina.
Entrepreneur Life Inc. has implemented several community enriched efforts that we have labeled "THE GIVEBACK"
- "Our Annual Kids Christmas Charity Event" is a focus on kids between the ages of 3 -10 years old, where we create a fun filled event with food, games and gifts for kids. We celebrate the ideology that to raise a child it takes a village, so together the Entrepreneur Life Inc. Staff, Volunteers & Parents come together to make this event a success year after year.
- "Thanks-For-Giving -Feeding Families" Initiative
Our team together creates an experience for the less fortunate homeless, where we decorate a shelter, prepare food and feed usually 100+ homeless families with kids. Next we drop of food to the "At Risk" youths at groups homes and hit the streets to feed the homeless who are out there.
- "Seniors Matter" Initiative is something we implemented recently that is focused on giving back to our Senior Citizens throughout the community. We partner with Senior Citizen centers and bring various experiences to life for the elders. We feed them, communicate, implement happy memories back into their lives through different activities. We want to bridge the gap between the age brackets and show the seniors that they truly matter to our community.
- "Conversation of The Minds of Women" is a platform we created to bring women from all age brackets together to communicate about powerful life changing topics like Motherhood, Financial Literacy, Education, Personal + Mental Health, Career advancement, Entrepreneurship and much more while bridging the gap between the ages. The power of communicating with liked minds and minds that see things different is a beautiful thing as long as you are willing to see the other person point of view.
(COMING SOON)
- “Sset-it-Off” is a program providing opportunities to reach out to kindergarten thru college offering workshop for personal growth, anti-bullying, self-discovery, appreciation of life, values, responsibility, self-respect and to build friendship while having fun. It is designed to improve social awareness, motivation, and confidence, creativity and develop high self-esteem in an environment that stresses success. Through "Sset it Off" Mentoring this will allow them to feel confident about themselves and their achievements under the Entrepreneur Life Inc. organization.

OUR MISSION
We empower "At Risk" youth through our positive platforms like Mentoring, Building Life Skills, Sports (teaching Team Work & Discipline), Self-Empowerment and Youth Entrepreneurship.
Our ongoing mission is to end youth homelessness, bullying, and increase positive mentoring to teach our youth to grow into self-motivated leaders of their communities with strong values.

- We are committed to ending youth homelessness.
- We are selfless in our pursuit to help these At Risk youth grow into productive young adults.
- We believe in creating opportunities, solutions and awareness
