OUR PROGRAMS
HM Youth Foundation offers a number of enriching programs for youth ages 8 to 24. Our programs emphasize and focus on instilling pride, confidence and strength into racialized youth by teaching them Afrocentric values, fostering their sense of leadership and highlighting their Black excellence. Nurturing, inclusive, and safe environments are created for Black youth within our programs because we understand how seldom these spaces exist for them in the world. Our mission is to harness the joy, creativity and brilliance of each Black child. We achieve this by using development of skills needed to become prominent leaders of tomorrow.
Black Social Work students and volunteers contribute to the youth programming here at HM Youth Foundation. We celebrate Black youth by creating spaces where they can freely speak their truths, learn new skills, expand their minds and make meaningful connections with each other.
