OUR VISION
Project S.T.O.R.Y. combines education with holistic development and support to build successful pathways towards youth achievement, empowerment, and leadership in a variety of areas with the following goals:
Project S.T.O.R.Y. will empower and support youth in developing their character and talents to find their purpose, reach their potential, and become a leader in their community and beyond: By fostering a mindset of optimum character development, youth gain the ability to recognize and understand, both their potential and purpose, guiding them towards success and into future leadership roles.
Project S.T.O.R.Y. will establish and provide holistic development support models to ensure youth health, success, and security in all areas: By utilizing a holistic approach towards individual wellbeing and progress, youth receive specialized essential support to become empowered in leadership roles within the communities.
Project S.T.O.R.Y. will empower and educate youth in areas of racial justice and equity, in an effort to ensure safety, success, and unification through leadership within their community: By providing young people with the tools, skills, and education to fight racism, they can adequately maneuver and dismantle systemically challenging societal norms.
Project S.T.O.R.Y. will nurture empowered youth to engage in continuous reciprocation with the program to ensure the longevity of empowerment and leadership: By fostering a natural process of reciprocity, empowered individuals continue to extend services to facilitate the transition towards a unified and equity-driven community.
Project S.T.O.R.Y.'s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Anti-racism Statement:
Project S.T.O.R.Y. is dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of youth from culturally diverse communities. At the core of our mission is a strong commitment to anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion. We believe that embracing these values is not just beneficial but essential in empowering the young individuals we work with. We must continue to play our part in building a more inclusive and equitable world, starting with our own organization. Each one of us plays a crucial role in this journey, and together, we can create a lasting impact.
