Featured Project: Building Our Future
In 2020 during a trying time in our world (COVID-19) one of our founders was presented with an opportunity to build a youth development center by one of our legislative leaders she believed in our vison and our work and pushed us to move forward and share our gifts with the world. So, we began to search for a brick and mortar home. On December 20, 2023 we found our home and we are building out a center for our youth.
