Transformative Experiences

Piloting Aircraft, Entrepreneurship, White Water Rafting, Ziplining…

Transformative experiences lead to transformative thinking! Exploring the world around them and expanding the horizons of our youth is key to their development and increasing their ability to have big goals. “If they can see it, they can be it,” leads our initiatives and encourages children to think bigger than just where they are now.

Tangible Items

Each year we support hundreds of children in the community with items donated by our community partners.

Children who lack the necessities required for basic daily life often don’t aspire to dream big enough for special gifts!

We enhance these situations by donating not only basic care items like shoes and clothes, but also toys, electronics, and gifts that help kids dream a little bigger!

Mentorship and Guidance

Fostering lasting relationships is the cornerstone to how we engage and encourage impressionable teens to ensure they feel supported and have a support system during their young adult years.
