Our Programs

Maine: Tree Street Youth: 90% kids of color.  Mission: To support the youth of Lewiston-Auburn through programs rooted in academics, the arts, and athletics in a safe space that encourages healthy physical, social, emotional, and academic development while building unity across lines of difference.  www.treestreetyouth.org  

Rhode Island: PASA-Providence After School Alliance-Learning has to continue outside of school, with music lessons, sports, academic support, and other activities. Unfortunately, students from under-served communities, who typically have the greatest need for additional enrichment, are least likely to get it. They also are less likely to know about the world around them — that they live a mile from the ocean, can visit their city’s museums, and are welcome to walk through a nearby college campus.  PASA fills these critical gaps. Expanded learning teaches students about academics, collaboration, and problem-solving.  Students not only learn how to do better in school, they find new ways to ignite their passions — and to engage in learning and life.  www.mypasa.org  

Dallas:   For Oak Cliff:  For Oak Cliff provides culturally responsive initiatives in South Oak Cliff to liberate the community from systemic oppression.  Education, Advocacy, Community Building and Arts are the categories we use to develop various programs with our community. For Oak Cliff believes in 2-Gen, so we focus on creating opportunities for and addressing the needs of both children and the adults in their lives together with the aim of increasing social mobility and social capital. www.foroakcliff.org  

Massachusetts: Legendary Legacies : Based in Worcester, MA,  LL offers young men ages 17-24 the opportunity to develop the skills necessary to become productive citizens and maximize their God given potential by providing positive male adult role models through programming efforts. These relationships are the backbone of our organization. LL offers mentoring, life skills development, case management, community outreach, family support services, recreational opportunities and local, national, and international service opportunities. Hoop Dreams is a recreational program that LL facilitates through groups and an open gym.  This program begins with engaging participants in intentional dialogue while enjoying a meal.  The dialogue is centered around current events, locally, nationally, and specific obstacles that participants may be currently facing.  https://www.legendlegacy.org/

We are so grateful for what this wonderful new lap top can do for our youth in the Nonviolence Lab at Civic Leadership High School.
