Working For A Cause

Address Community Challenges through Innovative Approaches: Empowering Youth and Reforming the Criminal Justice System. 

Our mission is to support positive change in our communities by addressing four key pillars: education, economic development, entrepreneurship, and legal justice. We recognize that the most vulnerable members of our society, particularly youth and those involved or at risk of involvement in the criminal justice system, require targeted interventions to overcome systemic barriers and unlock their full potential.

Support positive change in our communities

What's Happening 

We are working to silence the bully; you can join the movement. You are invited to the Jingle & Mingle Holiday Soiree Fundraiser! This fundraiser aims to combat bullying and foster a culture of kindness among teens. This initiative centers around raising funds for a silent party designed to provide teens with a safe, inclusive, and empowering space to connect, free from the negativity of bullying. The fundraiser will feature a sophisticated cocktail-hour theme with various tapas and beverages to create a welcoming and engaging atmosphere. Raffles will be held throughout the evening, offering participants an exciting opportunity to win exclusive prizes while contributing to a vital cause.

“We strive to teach our youth that they can do anything they put their minds to. I believe that by doing a thing long enough, while you are bad at it, you eventually become good at it.”
