WHO ARE WE:

To You From Us is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to develop and support children and families in underserved communities. Our vision is to equip marginalized communities in becoming self-sufficient, resilient, and resourceful through STEM: Service, Training, Education and Mentoring.  We believe in fostering a sense of unity, compassion and empowerment through our various programs and initiatives. 

WHAT WE DO:

We provide educational programs, workshops, trainings, mentorship and community service opportunities to support the academic, financial and personal growth in children and families. Our holistic approach is designed to foster a sense of unity, compassion, and empowerment, creating a safe and vibrant space for everyone.

OUR PROGRAMS:

Your support directly fuels our life-changing programs that are designed to meet the unique needs of our community:

  • Youth Leadership: An engaging environment where young people develop essential life skills, including public speaking, problem-solving and team-building, to become confident community leaders. We empower youth to lead with confidence, serve their community and build the skills needed for lifelong success.

  • STEAM & Entrepreneurship: Equips youth to innovate, create and lead by combining technical skills with entrepreneurial training for real-world success. This comprehensive approach builds skills that foster independence, break cycles of poverty and drive lasting community impact.

  • Financial Education: Teaches youth how to master crucial money skills needed to build a secure and successful future. Through interactive learning, youth build confidence and smart habits that can protect them from financial pitfalls, empower independence and help break cycles of poverty before they begin.

  • Cooking Class: Provides hands-on culinary training in kitchen safety and food prep, creating unforgettable meals and memories. Our class helps with building confidence, reducing food insecurity and fostering long-term self-sufficiency.

  • Art Club: Allows youth to unleash their creativity in a safe space and turn imagination into their next masterpiece. Through artistic exploration, youth gain tools for resilience, emotional well-being and potential career opportunities to help break cycles of poverty.

  • Hope Horizon Mentorship: A program designed to provide comprehensive academic support, life skills training and workforce development to uplift disadvantaged youth. We act as a beacon of hope, providing a nurturing environment where every young person can realize their full potential.
