ABOUT US

Every day, teens encounter trauma that is associated with violence. Whether it from witnessing gun violence, being physically, sexually, and emotionally abused in the home, or being bullied or assaulted by their peers in schools, early exposure to violence can cause many teens to regurgitate the violence they witnessed, retaliate against the perpetrator, or consider taking their life because the trauma is too much they can bare. We believe educating teenagers to know their values can positively influence their perception of their self-worth. We believe that violence prevention should aim at all levels of influence and that it is imperative to improve teens' emotional, psychological, and social well-being to help deter violent behavior.


OUR FOCUS

  • To help teens view obstacles as opportunities for personal growth and development.

  • Cultivate teens to become leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs.

  • To save lives and positively influence teen minds.

OUR GOALS

  • To provide an activity-based program model that reduces suicidal ideation, violence, and
    create synergy among youth to feel safe and connected to others.

  • Create a safe space that leverages pathways for youth to develop and create economic
    stability.

  • Provide training and offer mindfulness techniques youth can implement to help them
    redirect aggression during a crisis.

OUR SUCCESS

  • 100% success in deterring suicidal ideation.

  • Fifteen years of changing lives, saving lives, and transforming teens into resilient leaders.

    and are now leaders in their community.
