Creating Conditions that Allow Youth to Thrive
Move 4WARD
Our equity and trauma-informed programs are for youth, educators, caregivers/parents, and community organizations and members. Our programs promote critical thinking, reduce racial and educational disparities, and increase social and emotional learning that helps individuals from marginalized communities live healthier and happier lives. Our work reduces poverty, racist behaviors within educational systems, and community violence.
As a result of our programs, youth exercise their leadership and are more engaged in their learning. Caregivers are equipped with more key tools to support their children into adulthood. Organization and school leaders lead through an equity lens centered in compassion, and every educator is prepared to respond to trauma in the classroom.
FOCUS and Move 4ward
Our racial equity and trauma-informed programs empower individuals to focus 4ward, fostering mindsets that enable them to shift, change, and recover. Guided by our pillars, we encourage our partners to execute their goals, celebrate milestones, and develop sustainable strategies for change.
We operate in the New York City Metropolitan area, the District of Columbia, Philadelphia, Detroit, and Atlanta, addressing three main social issues.

What People Are Saying
“ I found your session informative and it really pushed some serious self-reflection. I would love to use one of the handouts you provided in this session as a way to get some leaders to do some of my school leaders to do self-reflection as well. It made me feel and think about myself and potentially others with whom I work. ”
— Counselor, Detroit
“I like when we just start discussions on our own because they become really engaging and heated and we learn so much from them.”

The session was great. It was a refresher on the way we think about our students and self-reflection and how to improve on the biases across the board.
