Mission - Purpose - Vision

Mission - We are here to provide opportunities for young men to progress and most importantly show them their responsibility to education. This foundation will infuse a commitment to excellence while enhancing the community. Our reasoning for existence is to overpower negative influences and put forth a positive atmosphere for future generations.

Purpose - This foundation is here to serve the community by positively impacting as many young men as possible. We believe developing boys into men is essential to healthy families and to the success of those involved. We understand the immediate need to assist our young men in accomplishing goals and discovering their greatness. This will be done by providing educational and community service. Our purpose is to rejuvenate the passion and the belief in our youth throughout our society.

Vision - We will become the premier youth non-for-profit in the Chicago land area. The youth we influence will become positive and contributing individuals who will understand the importance of community service. We will provide the absolute best service per donation possible.
