Restoring Hope. Creating Opportunity. Transforming Communities.

We are committed to restoring hope in the lives of young people in Dallas, Los Angeles, and Phoenix by building community-based systems that provide food access, economic opportunity, and pathways to a better future.

Mentoring

We believe in investing time in every young persons.

Collaborating

As we expand across America, we know that no one organization can help every young person.

Sports

We believe that sports is a great teaching tool. We will utilize team, individual and e-sports.

Caring

It is impossible to interact with these young people and not address direct economic, mental, and social needs.

Exposing

We believe in physically exposing our young people to opportunities that will inspire them for a lifetime.

About Us

Donald believes that exposure is the key to unlocking a youth’s potential. In 1999, shortly after graduating from The University of Texas, he began organizing college field trips on a monthly basis, encouraging kids from his old hometown neighborhood of Oak Cliff, Texas to participate. He’s conducted over 20 separate tours of UT’s campus alone and, over the years, completed dozens of trips to other schools across the state. Hundreds of young people have positively benefited from the opportunity to travel outside of their community while also getting the chance to see first-hand what college is like.
