The mission is clear: empower high school & college students with the knowledge, tools & unwavering support they need to thrive in the real world. At Operation: ADULTing®, we've curated a cutting-edge program that goes beyond the basics. From professional development & financial literacy to the revolutionary concept of Inner Engineering or what we call ID202X, we've got it covered. Our comprehensive, digitally-driven village equips young adults with the skills & tools necessary to break through barriers & achieve unparalleled success in the modern era.
Since receiving our 501(c)(3) status in the United States of America in 2020, we currently have operatives in North America, Great Britain, Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana & the Philippines.

In the covert world of Operation: ADULTing®, we know the allure of our missions is too intriguing to resist. That's why we grant exclusive clearance for a sneak peek into our operations, allowing public access to select board meetings and key activities. Our aim? To quench your curiosity while still operating under the radar.
However, in this high-stakes game of tech & innovation, not all secrets can be shared immediately. Our commitment to protecting the classified intel & personal identities of our student agents is paramount. We've already experienced our fair share of espionage from rival organizations trying to intercept our unique program strategies.
So, while we conduct our missions behind the veil of secrecy, fear not: we eventually declassify these adventures, releasing the final dossiers for public consumption. It's our way of balancing the thrill of secrecy with the need for transparency.
