serving Proudly
We share two values that are a big part of why we started our foundation. Our members were taught to give back and to be optimistic about the future. At the center of the foundation’s mission is to support the education of minority youth.
Our donors and partners are focused on minority youth who are disproportionately negatively impacted by failing school systems, community violence and the justice system. Through volunteerism and donations our goal is to expand opportunity for young men and boys of color. Most of the statistics on African-American boys present a deficit perspective, including all of the ways in which African-American boys are not healthy, not meeting age-connected expectations, and not succeeding in toe with their female peers. Annually, we expand opportunities through our resources for black boys and young men.
Across Greater Fort Lauderdale, our foundation supports other community organizations as a part of our mission.
