Project snapshot

I want to continue working with youth in underprivileged neighborhoods, as I have for many years. My goal is to educate them about business, teaching both the back-end and front-end operations. I aim to instill respect, loyalty, and responsibility, preparing them to be good coworkers and responsible adults. This includes home training, like getting up, dressing for school, and respecting parents and teachers. I will continue serving the community with groups such as Staten Island URBAN CENTER, Tru To Life, and Friends of Tompkinsville Park. My business supports the community through holiday toy drives, turkey giveaways, and back-to-school events. I strive to create positive change and opportunities for the youth in my community.
