Leadership for a better way forward.
Meet the people bringing experience, care, and commitment to work alongside communities and help young people thrive.
Meet our board and teamA shared calling became a lifelong commitment.
In November 2007, Mark and Christin Haywood joined a short-term mission trip to Kenya. What began as a chance to support local entrepreneurs and a growing medical center changed the direction of their lives.
They saw how much was possible when practical support met local leadership. Since then, they have worked with community organizations and partners to build solutions that help young people and families move toward a stronger future.
Meet the board.
Our board members bring leadership, professional expertise, and a shared belief in the potential of every young person.
