Project snapshot

We’re Stronger Together is an initiative that’s close to my heart. Our mission is to teach students the value of education, discipline, and respecting diversity through active community involvement. We focus on topics such as finance, careers, and wellness, improving neighborhoods and fostering civic engagement. Teaching financial literacy and entrepreneurship to youth not only prepares them for success but also instills proactive habits, such as smarter food choices, reducing dependency on fast food?indirectly adding value to households. Our efforts extend beyond the youth, seeking to promote healthier lifestyles and community building among adults, especially seniors. We’re committed to reducing youth violence and improving relationships within the community through seminars, workshops, and guest speakers.
