Mission
Ghetto Youths Foundation is dedicated to creating social change and equity, with a focus on providing opportunity to young people, seniors, and families from compromised communities and challenging situations.
Program accomplishments
- Ghetto Youths Foundation provides year-round, ongoing help and assistance to communities in need across the world. Our social impact programs are focused on four main areas of intervention Education, Health & Wellness, Elderly Support, and Community-Building.Currently, our outreach work in Jamaica is centered around two long-term projects: Cornerstone Learning Center and the Rita Marley Girls Center. Cornerstone Learning Center provides free after-school remedial intervention in reading and math for middle school-aged children from the Trench Town community. The Rita Marley Girls Center is envisioned to support teen mothers from Trench Town who may have dropped out of school, or those young women vulnerable to teen pregnancy and educational interruptions. In addition, the foundation provides ad hoc support for medical and funeral expenses as requested by under-resourced community members.Expenses $33,367 · grants $3,403
