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.

Honoring Resilience. Inspiring Impact. Creating Change.

Join us for an unforgettable evening as we come together to celebrate the unsung heroes of our community — those whose resilience and impact often go unrecognized, but never unnoticed.

The Antmound Annual Gala is more than an event — it’s a movement. Your presence and support will directly contribute to our mission of empowering communities through education, mentorship, and opportunity.

Our Commitment

We are deeply committed to reducing gun violence by addressing its roots. Through collaboration with local schools, district leaders, and the youth system, we are actively working to disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline. Our approach includes mentorship, conflict resolution training, and proactive outreach — all aimed at preventing youth from entering cycles of violence.

Be Part Of The Change

Your attendance and support make a real difference. Together, we can uplift voices that deserve to be heard and create a safer, stronger, and more united community.

“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.”

-Anthony McIntyre
