Since 2019, I’ve been doing this work through Village Against Violence. Showing up for families, mentoring youth, and creating programs to keep kids safe.

Now we finally have a space to turn into a community resource and youth center.

A place where youth can come for:

Free tutoring

Workforce development

Food and basic needs

Diapers for young moms

Stop the Bleed training

Narcan kits and fentanyl prevention

Mentorship and positive activities

We’ll also continue our Hair We Go program, teaching youth braiding, barbering, and entrepreneurship skills in a hands-on, positive environment.

There’s a lot going on in our city. Our youth need somewhere to go before something happens.

The space is secured, but right now it’s empty.

We need help with:

Tables and chairs

Furniture

Security cameras

Refrigerator

Program supplies

We are committed to keeping everything free or low cost, but we need the community to help us get started.

If you believe in protecting our youth and creating real change, please donate or share.

No amount is too small.
