Organization Information

Mission Statement

We are an organization built to combat community deterioration and juvenile delinquency while lessening neighborhood tensions by providing mentorship, leadership, friendship and guidance to young men and women ages 10-17. We exist to provide mentorship, leadership, friendship and guidance. We will give young men and women a vision to pursue by teaching them life transforming skills and by providing examples for them to emulate. This will allow them to pull themselves up and out of their situation and give them the confidence to know that there is a better way. This will be accomplished by helping them identify their talents and skills through a series of lessons and activities to become more productive members of the community.

Description

Our organization was established in 2016 by the founder Calvin Hill. Our organization currently sponsors five community events, Pearls for the Girls, Mental Health Walk/5K, Back to School Drive, Mentor to Mentor Conference and our annual toy drive. Our goals are to have centers in every city in the Hampton Roads area and across the east coast. These centers will be a safe space for our youth to come and learn different skills and tools to take out into the world. We currently have weekly sessions that we hold with mentees and we are in the process of getting into various schools.
