There will never be the perfect time. The people that make things happen and make real changes in the world are the people who do not wait for others or the time, they take action right there and then. 
-Barack Obama

​If you are successful, it is because somewhere, sometime, someone gave you a life or an idea that started you in the right direction. Remember also that you are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.
-Melinda Gates
Youth Empowerment is an opportunity for teens to develop work ethics that lead to success!  We start our weekend cleanup projects at 7am to replicate first shift work!  We teach our youth that consistency is the key to success and that quality of craftsmanship will come over time with diligence.  The youth earn a stipend their 2 hours of work in their neighborhoods.  These principles  when practiced will pay off as these adolescents  become adults and transition into the workplace! Everyone can be successful however success is intentional and is not by perhaps!  
Special Thanks To Our Partners
