OUR DEMOGRAPHIC
We engage youth ages 13 - 18 in community projects. Our objective is to foster personal development through exposure, engagement, and elevation. Youth learn that success is created from their sustained efforts over a period of time. This includes creating good work habits, develop leadership skills, and learning how to work productively with a team. In exchange, you earn raises every 4 weeks, and have opportunities to lead project teams to hone their skills.

WE OPERATE FROM 3 PILLARS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE
- Neighborhood Revitalization - We partner with organizations to remove blight from neighborhoods
- Parks Restoration - We have adopted Rees Park (2nd district) and are focused on beautification projects. We also partner with other organizations to help beautify neighboring parks
- Community Gardening through vacant lot transformation - We transform vacant spaces into beautiful community respite areas

A HEARTY THANK YOU TO OUR 2024 COMMUNITY SPONSORS
“For those who want to change the world, the first step is they must get proximate to the people who are suffering, who are being excluded, who are being disfavored and who are being incarcerated. We cannot change the world from a distance.”
-Bryan Stevenson
