Our Purpose
As one of the founders of this nonprofit organization, my purpose is to be able to help boost the confidence, nurture the creativity and foster a love for learning for the youth I interact with.
I help to provide the "big sister" type of love to a community of youth that so desperately needs those extra hands of support and empowering compassion. This consistent empathy and encouragement are necessary to raise the next generation of successful leaders. - Sasha Ruiz
