Our Hi(STORY)
It all started back in…. Don’t we all just love stories like this.
But on a serious note, back in 2013 reality sat in that, the things that were available to me growing up were slow but surely fading away. Deeper into that thought I also realized that there was so much more that I never saw or had the opportunity to engage in. With that heavy on my conscience, I decided that it was up to me to figure out how, what, when, where, and why but most importantly, how I was going to save the world through the youth. Founded is 2015, we were probably the smallest non-profit organization in Atlanta, Georgia. Since then, we have served over 2600 youth in the metro Atlanta Area. Since then, we have started 8 different programs and host 6 different community events annually.
Our mission is to provide an innovative outlet to the future leaders of our community and inspire them to be substantial leaders of our nation.
To coach, train, redirect and guide the youth into making a dream become a plan, a plan become an effort, and an effort to become the movement that makes the difference.
