Sean Powell

Age: 28

Founder of Engage The Foundation

Sean Powell is a graduate of the VCU School of Business and founded Engage the Foundation in 2011.

Engage the foundation is a community-based organization that connects college students and encourages them to work with families and kids on campus and in the neighborhood. Two of its main goals are developing successive generations who understand their purpose and identity and reducing the costs of government assistance needed by unstable families.

Engage has spurred growth in communities by holding fundraisers, development programs, workforce programs and other special events.

Powell stresses the importance of Engage’s college-to-career pipeline, a workforce program that increases the rate at which college students find a job after graduating through industry training, certifications and direct work experience as interns.
