All of our volunteers are excited to see the advancement of our future with the children! They work with them on life skills, mentorship, and more! We love our volunteers!
Our program started in September of 2022 by Women on the M.U.V., a social membership club met to discuss the pain points of the community, including today’s youth. We believe in empowering youth to take control of their lives, make informed decisions, and become agents of positive change within their communities. The founder, Brenda Cage, pulled together to plan the ideals of the organization, this included free haircuts, hair styles, necessities, field trip's around the city, tutoring, free meals, clothing for school, guest speakers, mental health , and community service.
It is the mission to enhance, encourage, and promote opportunities for youth, empowering them to become positive role models within our community.
Our members sponsored 15 children for Christmas in our very first year, fulfilling five wishes for each youth. Every year since, we’ve gathered as a family, preparing a huge Thanksgiving feast and giving baskets to needy families.
We take extra steps to ensure that our youth are cared for year-round—providing coats, hats, gloves, boots, toiletries, school supplies, and personal products, especially for the young women.
Our community service projects teach them the importance of giving back, whether it’s through our annual beautification projects, planting flowers, or cleaning up the neighborhood. Our youth are not just recipients of kindness but becoming leaders and role models within their community.
There are 15 -20 youth in our program each year, and the youth create a vision board, mapping out their hopes and dreams, and we guide them along the way.
From horseback riding to a scavenger hunt around the city of Grand Rapids. Our youth even attend etiquette classes at the start of camp to prepare them for dining out during our outings.
