- Brain Exercise Initiative is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on preventing memory loss through brain exercise.
- Pioneered by neuroscientist Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, it has been found that doing simple math and reading aloud for just 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week, caused marked improvements for those with Alzheimer's. Most showed improvements in cognitive function as tested by Mini Mental State Examinations (MMSE) and Frontal Assessment Batteries (FAB). Many began to feel happier and improvements in communication and cognition were recorded. Near miraculous case studies were also observed. For example, an individual who was previously bedridden began to walk again after completing these exercises for six months. Some patients showed improvements in bowel movement. The gentle mental activities Dr. Kawashima used activated the prefrontal cortex, the control center for memory, cognition and planning. These activities are currently being done in over 1400 care centers with over 15,000 patients in Japan. For more information regarding this groundbreaking research done in Japan, please reference these two articles: https://www.tohoku.ac.jp/en/research/research_highlights/research_highlight_22.html and https://academic.oup.com/biomedgerontology/article/60/3/380/630607.

Drawing from the research conducted in Japan, we are inspired to create an intergenerational nonprofit in which university students would hold brain exercise programs at retirement homes. We creates daily packets which include simple math, writing and "read-alouds" that are completed by each individual with the guidance of university students. Several retirement homes have integrated the program into their center and chapters are currently being founded at different universities.

Not only does the Brain Exercise Initiative hope to improve the memory of those suffering from Alzheimer's but we also create an invaluable, all-too-rare avenue for intergenerational service, discussion, and collaboration.

Small businesses are symbols of the American Dream brought to life. According to the Small Business Administration, they employ nearly 60% of the private workforce and created nearly 70% of net new jobs after the 2008 recession. The economy relies on small businesses, but they're in trouble. Only 50% of small businesses make it to their 5th year of operations. Many small business owners struggle with turnover of staff and operational issues, and many do not capitalize on digital tools to grow their business.

CYC selects only the most highly qualified undergraduates from America's best universities. Many times there is an acceptance rate of <10% to get into the program. Students that pass through our rigorous interview process are invited to join our intensive, semester-long program, which focuses on developing consultants' problem solving, interpersonal and communication, and entrepreneurial skills.
