PLAN OF ACTION

PLAN OF ACTION

Our plan is to create programming that will build confidence, social, and economical skills. Our focus is financial empowerment, mental health and entrepreneurship. We provide mentoring to children with behavioral, financial, economic and social disadvantages. Create affordable programs, events, and camps for parents who may not be able to otherwise afford the necessary assistance in the community due to whatever reason. We are hoping to work together with the local agencies on creating a central location where the youth can come interact with one another and have a safe family atmosphere to learn skills and trades that will mold them into successful young men and women and hopefully increase the employment and graduation rate while decreasing the incarceration, crime, and death rate of the young black male and female.
