The Greatness Project

No More Dirty
Community Projects & Outreach Initiatives

Our work is focused on giving youth and young adults the tools needed to improve their quality of life and opportunities for education, financial sustainability, generational wealth and legacy.

This is a unique interdisciplinary character development initiative that helps early adolescents & transitional youth between the ages of 9 and 18 who may have been negatively impacted by an interruption in family life, brokenness, violation or other unforeseeable happenings. It is a pioneering initiative aimed at reshaping trajectories, instilling positive values, and fostering personal growth among youth and teens.

The Greatness Project's creative year-round curriculum is culturally sensitive, and it's steeped in evidence-proven strategies and research-based techniques and solutions to transform lives for the better. Our comprehensive curriculum addresses the critical needs of adolescents transitioning from foster care, facing academic struggles, or dealing with past criminal or mental health challenges. It's designed to help participants embrace their best self, discover their purpose from earlier ages so they are given a "step-up" advantage, ultimately growing up to be healthy, productive, economically stable citizens who add value to themselves and their community in today's and tomorrow's society.

We partner, consult, and collaborate with youth professional providers, school administrators, teachers, educators, school officers, law enforcement and assigned social workers to identify the challenges that needed to be incorporated and included in the developmental aspect.

2024 SESSIONS BEGIN ON JUNE 1!

Uplifting Youth One Step at a Time

We understand how greatly community and cultural influences impacts today's youth. That's why we are deeply committed to transforming the lives of adolescents and teens navigating the complexities of the juvenile justice system. Our character development “Greatness” initiative is very intentional about addressing the most challenging internal, social and mental battles that young people face while coping with impoverishment, cultural relatability and identity crisis, self-awareness and self-appreciation anxiety and loss. We offer mentorship through team-building exercises and role model the principles of what it means to have personal etiquette, a sense of value, and tolerance & respect for all persons positions of authority.

Growing Inner & Outer "Greatness"

Our strategies encourage self-worth, proper etiquettes, mental focus, self-discipline, appropriate conflict resolution, academic excellence, positive mentorship, life application, good health, employability, economic opportunities, entrepreneurship and good citizenship practices.

Participants get a dedicated time & space to explore the universal principles, philosophies and systems that challenge them to think critically and envision themselves in a positive light while instilling the importance of self-respect, self-worth, self-discipline & maintaining healthy lifestyle practices such as creating nutritious eating habits.

We Pour Great In to Get Great Out

During the eight-week sessions, we meet twice a week for 60-120 minutes. Each session involves interactive lessons with a questionnaire to gauge the participant's understanding and comprehension of discussed content. Sessions conclude with a group activity; food, snacks, and drinks are also included, along with:

Interdisciplinary activities and/or fitness (total body, strengthening and conditioning classes, indoor cycling, workouts, etc.) with bottled water.
Urban mentorship and state-of-the-arts leadership class which focuses its attention on professionalism, life application, technical skill set, good communication, self-worth and value, self-sufficiency, social responsibility, media production, citizenship and becoming successful and creative entrepreneurs and influencers.
A fieldtrip, community activity, or group event to build team ethics such as movie nights for families, health and wellness workshops, game nights, smoke-free classes, etc.
