OUR MISSION

Our primary mission is to uplift at-risk youth and turn them into responsible citizens who give back to the community. We plan to achieve our goal by providing practical training, counseling, and resources for long-term rehabilitation.

The problem we're trying to solve

According to data provided by Maryland’s Juvenile Services Department, a considerable part of detained young individuals in Maryland come from ethnic minority groups. Even though juvenile arrests have shown a downward trend over the years, most of the incarcerated young people hail from minority backgrounds. This widespread imprisonment perpetuates and deepens racial divides.

29.3% of Maryland's prison population is black, more than double the national average which is 10.9%
