Oluwadoyinsolami Development Incorporated exists to give people something too many programs skip: the chance to actually do the thing, not just read about it.

We believe skills change lives. That's why every program we run; whether it's preparing someone for a healthcare career, teaching them to formulate their own body care line, or helping them navigate a return to the workforce after incarceration; is built around real, hands-on experience. Short-term. Skill-focused. Designed to get people from "I want to try this" to "I can do this for a living" as quickly as possible.

Persons rebuilding their careers, career-changers pursuing living-wages, healthcare work, aspiring entrepreneurs and creatives, seniors, mothers and families, and anyone in our community who is ready to develop something new in themselves. No prior experience required. No one turned away.

"O ye dry bones… ye shall live." — Ezekiel 37:4-5

We are rooted in faith, which is why our doors, and our programs, are open to everyone.

Why We Need Your Support

Most people do not lack potential. They lack access, to training, to hands-on experience, to a first real shot at a new skill without going into debt to try it.

That access costs money to build: test preparation equipment, workshop materials, instructor time, testing fees, transportation stipends for participants who are starting over with almost nothing. We keep our programs low-cost or free specifically so that cost is never the reason someone does not get to try.

Your gift funds experiences. It is the difference between someone reading about a cardiac monitoring career or art studio workshop and someone actually earning the certification or revitalizing local spaces. Between a creative idea staying a Pinterest board and becoming a small business. Between a young adult building their soft skills and landing their first volunteer opportunity or dream career with a skill in hand.
