ABOUT US
Mission

Our mission: Provide wrap-around services to those in the community who have been marginalized by poverty, drug addiction, and trauma.
Our vision: Uplift the community and dismantle barriers through violence prevention, gang intervention, job development, parenting classes, and mental health programs. We empower our participants to develop the skills, relationships, and associations necessary to foster self-esteem, persistence, and a positive attitude.
