Our History
This organization was founded in honor of Julius Bennett, who was a passionate advocate for education and youth development. We were fortunate to have him with us for the first few years of our journey, but sadly, we lost him in 2023. Nevertheless, we are committed to continuing his legacy and supporting our next generation.

Our Mission
Our History
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a community of like-minded young adults aspiring to excel above expectations and assist others along the journey. Our minds and environments often limit our abilities to see the opportunities available. Creating this community allows us to push each other higher and produce a culture beyond our forefathers’ dreams.
