We are a Philadelphia-based non-profit and civil servant organization that assists and guides the youth.
Our Mission
Our purpose is to reshape, rehabilitate, and stabilize the mindsets of the youth in the Philadelphia area. We use our experience of growing up in the streets to fuel our hands-on approach. Our city is under siege and in desperate need of the NOW factor! And that’s what our non-profit brings to the Philly youth the DO IT NOW FACTOR!
“We went through all the trials & tribulations of prison. And want to let the youth know this is not the way”
