Mission Statement
We aim to empower and equip Black and Brown youth and their families who have been impacted by the Criminal Justice System.
Description
We plan to be an Advocate & Resource Center for Black and Brown youth and their families impacted by the Criminal Justice System.
We've established our first program in January of this year (22'), It's a social-emotional learning (SEL) program located in a low-income, inner-city neighborhood in Houston. We've seen upwards of 80 kids so far and have been feeding the community as well. We feed 200 meals a week right now with our program being two days a week right now.
We are building to implement many more programs to fulfill our vision, starting in Houston and expanding globally overtime. Some of these programs include Political Education, Youth Workforce Development, Parenting Program for Parents firmly incarcerated, Reentry Program for Parents, Life skills, Entrepreneurship Program, Mentorship, Angel Investor Program, Food Program-Farming, Mental Health-Holistic Health, Marriage & Family Enrichment Program, Summer Enrichment Program, etc.
