FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
1. What is your non-profit organization’s mission?
Our mission is to help improve lives and contribute to overcoming community decline in underserved areas locally, nationally and globally. We do this by empowering students and unemployed youth with opportunities for skills training and to generate income for themselves in the communities they grew up in.

Specifically, we plan on fulfilling our mission by:
- Equipping underprivileged schools with new teaching tools and disadvantaged universities with research capabilities.
- Modernizing economically distressed and underserved communities with workforce training to seek new job opportunities.
