There’s a part of our community that often gets misunderstood…The youth who get suspended/expelled. The youth labeled as “trouble.” The youth struggling in school, disconnected, angry, unmotivated, or simply trying to survive life the best way they know how. But these youth are not the problem, the problem is pain, unmet needs, lack of guidance & opportunities.
For years, I’ve carried a deep passion for creating spaces where these youth feel seen—not judged. Supported—not discarded. Challenged—but also deeply cared for. I see young people worthy of belonging, mentorship, patience, and love.
That vision is now growing into something bigger through MANOS Youth Empowerment & Mentorship Programs. 🤝🏽⚽🎨
MANOS was created to reach the youth who often fall through the cracks by building connection first. Through mentorship, movement, creativity, emotional support, and real-life skill building, we hope to create a community where youth can reconnect with themselves and recognize their worth.
⚽ MANOS Soccer | Cascarita y Conversación
A space where youth can come kick it with us, play pick up soccer, build trust, have real conversations, receive mentorship, and experience positive community.
🎈 MANOS Creations
A creative workforce-readiness program where youth can learn hands-on event décor, balloon styling, design, teamwork, leadership, and job skills while being mentored and supported along the way.
These programs are being built with one mission in mind:
To remind youth that they are not forgotten.
That their story is still being written.
And that healing, purpose, kinship, opportunity, and growth are all possible when someone chooses to believe in them. This is for the youth who need a village. And I’m ready to help build one. ❤️ If you know a young person age 11-17 who could benefit from either program. Please refer them to us. The work begins now. 🙏🏽✨
