  • Fourddo is youth-led at its core, supported by an intergenerational advisory council made up of leaders across social impact, entertainment, public health, organizing, tech, and education. Our advisors do not direct the work, they resource it. They provide strategic insight, mentorship, and sector expertise while honoring that young people are the decision-makers.

    The council reflects the world we are building: Black and POC leaders, storytellers, mental health professionals, nonprofit founders, movement organizers, and industry creatives who believe in sharing knowledge across generations, not down to them.

    They ensure we have:
    • Guidance rooted in lived experience, not gatekeeping
    • Access to networks, resources, and funding pathways
    • Accountability to our values, communities, and mission
    • Support for program design, mental health practices, and ethical storytelling

    Our model is simple: youth lead the work, professionals strengthen the work.
    It’s not mentorship for mentorship’s sake, it’s co-creation across generations.
