Get to Know Us

​

Our organization was founded by a passionate group of friends united by a common mission: to support the youth in our community by teaching them to care for their most vital asset—their mind. While each of us has a personal reason for being involved, we all share the same goal: making mental health services accessible to young people.

Remarkably, our journey began by recycling cans to raise the initial funds necessary for startup costs. This creative endeavor soon evolved into a series of engaging events and fundraisers, generating even more support for our cause. At the heart of everything we do is our core value of community, and we strive to embody this principle in all our initiatives.

We look forward to continuing this meaningful work and hope to create lasting, positive change for the youth we support.
