We strive to create a supportive and inclusive community for BIPOC youth in Arkansas. Our team consists of a diverse group of professionals with varying perspectives and experiences, who have come together with a common goal in mind - to provide accessible resources and programs to our community. We believe in the power of collectivism to create change, and every day, we work together to inspire, educate and act as a catalyst for the collective power of BIPOC youth to create more equitable and sustainable communities.
