Why DYF?
As seasoned professionals, we recognized a gap between applying to college and successfully launching a career. For years, we’ve mentored students and young professionals, helping them gain experience and navigate the real world. But we’ve found that to set students on the best path, this process needs to start much earlier.
What sets our approach apart? Unlike traditional methods, we apply a proven business strategy called “visioning”—a process used to define long-term goals and create a clear, actionable plan. By adapting this strategy for students, we help them take ownership of their future, equipping them with the tools to define, plan, and execute their own path to success.
You already have the answers. We just ask the right questions.
We can’t wait to meet you!
