Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

OUR MISSION IS TO LEVERAGE THE POWER OF COLLABORATION TO UPLIFT AND EMPOWER YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY

  • Over the past year, we proudly served 1,357 individuals through our direct service programs and large-scale initiatives, making a meaningful impact on youth and families in our community. Our dedicated volunteers contributed 1,218 hours of service, representing an estimated $43,417 in community value, showcasing their incredible commitment. We invested $300,000 into our programs to ensure their continued growth and effectiveness. In response to the evolving needs of today?s youth, we launched Rise & Thrive: Young Professionals Crafting Futures Beyond High School, a reimagined college and career readiness curriculum. This initiative gained national recognition when L.O.V.E. Our Youth and its founder, Lasheena Williams, were honored as the NBA Foundations 2024 Community Change maker, receiving a $25,000 grant in support. Our Virtual Career Lounge provided 292 participants with critical life and career skills through 12 podcast-style sessions focusing on leadership, communication, and goal-setting. Additionally, our Elementary S.T.E.A.M. Summer Camp served over 100 children across two locations, offering hands-on learning experiences in science, the arts, and reading, while helping campers develop essential skills and meaningful friendships.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
