We deliver enriching educational experiences, both in-person and virtually, to support academic achievement and personal development. Programs include tutoring, skill-building workshops, and virtual internships for high school and college students.

We empower youth to honor the past and carry the stories of their communities forward.
Our youth-led history initiatives encourage exploration of Black identity and legacy. Through oral narratives, food traditions, and historical research, we foster cultural enrichment and community engagement through initiatives that celebrate diversity, promote inclusivity, and provide opportunities for artistic expression and social interaction.
Civic Engagement & Leadership

Youth are trained to become advocates, volunteers, and changemakers in their neighborhoods. From voter education to local service projects, we guide them in understanding their role as active citizens and future leaders.
GIS Mapping & Innovation
We blend creativity, data, and social justice into hands-on training.
