What our Guests are Saying
Sebastian
The Evolved Network
I took pieces of their passions, incorporated them into mine, and built this holistic, therapeutic experience for youth to really make a difference.
Natia
Village Minds
It started off with just whoever needed help and I wanted us to be able to, as a village, come together and help.
Ibrahim
Solidarity Studios
Especially music, particularly hip hop, were useful in forming and telling alternative narratives.
Mary

You will get more out of life by giving back.
Latanya
Youth of Englewood
Why am I here? What is my purpose on earth before I leave?
Father Kelly
Precious Blood Ministry of Reconciliation
Ultimately if change is going to happen, it has to happen in the community. Communities know what they need.

What does giving back mean to me...
"Using my gifts, skills, and privilege to make the world a better place."
Kory Smalzer
What does giving back mean to me...
"Spending quality time with the communities and organization you like to serve...getting your hands dirty and really getting to work with the organizations that are doing great things."
Vince Danh
What does giving back mean to me...
"Genuineness. It said somewhere in the Bible 'don't let your left hand do what your right hand is doing' and I really believe in that. If your goal is to give and to give it genuinely, it doesn't matter if there's praise, it doesn't matter if there's recognition, it doesn't matter if your name is on it, if you're there to give, then give."
