Youth Development

today, tomorrow and beyond.

Overview

Director of the Day Youth Development envisions a future where young people are empowered to pursue meaningful careers in the trades and beyond, supported by communities that value respect, dignity, and opportunity for all. Our mission is to create a strong, supportive network that nurtures each young person’s unique dreams and ambitions.

 We are committed to:


Listening First: Asking youth what they truly want to become and helping them shape
that vision.
Cultivating Dreams: Elevating and supporting their aspirations through education, mentorship, and exposure.
Trade Scholarships: Offering scholarships that open doors to careers in skilled trades, including specialized opportunities such as the Tuskegee Airmen Museum Aviation Scholarship for aspiring pilots.
Hands-On Experience: Providing internships in funeral homes and related industries, giving youth real-world skills and insight.
Personal Growth & Support: Offering confidential individual and family counseling to support mental and emotional health.
Health Empowerment:Educating on disease prevention and proactive health care to build stronger futures.
Dialogue Over Violence: Teaching the power of words, intellect, critical thinking, and thoughtful communication—encouraging dialogue, not guns.
Identity & Purpose: Revealing to each young person their immeasurable value—to their families, their communities, their culture, and the world. They are assets, not costs.

Through education, opportunity, and unwavering support, we aim to develop leaders, builders,
and thinkers who will not only succeed but will uplift those around them. Together, we grow
stronger

today, tomorrow and beyond.
