Fix8 Media Volunteers Website Design Training, Mentorship to Youth Entrepreneurs
Boulder County, CO (November 26, 2025) Leading website design and development agency Fix8 Media, headquartered in Colorado with offices around the U.S., recently completed a mentorship and training series for the Youth Entrepreneurship Program (YEP) at REAP, Inc., a nonprofit based in Portland, Oregon. The Fix8 Media team volunteered their time to provide website design training and education to students enrolled in the YEP program. The students learned web design basic principles and were guided step-by-step how to build their own websites in the Duda web platform, in which Fix8 Media is one of only a handful of Duda Solutions Partners worldwide. Duda in turn is hosting the students’ websites free of charge.
“It was so rewarding to work with these innovative and driven students to teach them how to bring their entrepreneurial visions to life online,” said Josh Neimark, Chief Creative Officer and Co-owner of Fix8 Media. “Empowering these young entrepreneurs with the skills to build and manage their own websites and online stores, we used our expertise in website design and development to give back and nurture the next generation of business owners and leaders.”
Oded Ouaknine, Chief Revenue Officer at Duda, reflected on the partnership: “We’re proud to work alongside outstanding agencies like Fix8 Media,” he said. “Providing website hosting to these promising young students was an easy decision but what truly excites us is giving them access to the same AI-powered tools and advanced site-building technology used by top professionals. Fix8’s valuable guidance, combined with Duda’s platform, helped unlock an incredible learning experience for them.”
The YEP program leadership expressed gratitude for the partnership with Fix8 Media and Duda. “As a nonprofit, this partnership has been truly transformative,” said Kirsten Discipulo, YEP program leader. “Through the complimentary Duda websites and the continued guidance from the Fix8 Media team, our young entrepreneurs now have the tools and confidence to launch their businesses with a professional online presence. Because of this generosity, our program has been able to reallocate funds to support our youth entrepreneurs in other essential areas, such as seed funding, business supplies, and mentorship opportunities, further expanding the impact of what we can provide.”
Specifically, Discipulo emphasized the impact Fix8 Media’s training and mentoring had on the students. “From hosting virtual Q&A sessions with our students, to answering support questions immediately, and offering ongoing assistance as they grow, the Fix8 Media team has shown what true partnership looks like,” she added. “Their time, patience, and commitment to our mission have empowered our students to dream bigger and believe that their ideas have real potential. This partnership not only strengthens our program but also creates a lasting impact for our youth. The knowledge, confidence, and skills they gain through this experience will continue to shape their journeys as future leaders, innovators, and business owners.”
Fix8 Media is grateful for the opportunity to give back, nurturing these young entrepreneurs through website design and development education, support, and guidance.
