Why We Do It:

 24.6 MILLION CHILDREN 
 ARE UNABLE TO ACCESS 
 AN OUT-OF-SCHOOL TIME PROGRAM 

THE PROJECT

At From Me 2 U, Inc., we recognize that learning doesn’t stop when the school bell rings—it continues through enrichment, exploration, and real-world skill-building. Research has consistently shown that high-quality after-school programs offer life-changing benefits for children, families, and communities.

 

Why After-School Programs Matter:

  • Boost Academic Performance: Studies show that students participating in afterschool programs have higher grades, better attendance, and improved classroom behavior compared to their peers who do not participate.

  • Encourage Social & Emotional Growth: Young people develop communication, teamwork, and leadership skills, which are essential for future success.

  • Prevent Risky Behaviors: After-school programs reduce crime rates, prevent substance abuse, and lower risky behaviors by providing safe, structured environments.

  • Support Working Families: Many parents struggle to find supervision for their children after school. Quality programs give peace of mind, knowing their children are engaged in meaningful activities.

  • Expose Youth to Career Paths: Hands-on projects in STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, Math), social entrepreneurship, and leadership prepare students for real-world challenges.

 

What We Do at From Me 2 U, Inc.

We design after-school programs that engage, educate, and empower students by helping them explore their talents, build confidence, and prepare for the future. Our programs focus on:

  • Hands-on learning experiences through creative problem-solving and innovation.

  • Developing leadership and teamwork skills to prepare youth for adulthood.

  • Mentorship and life coaching to encourage personal growth and resilience.

  • Encouraging self-expression and creativity through literacy, photography, and storytelling.

  • Providing workforce readiness skills that help students transition into career paths with confidence.

 

Our Commitment to the Future

At From Me 2 U, Inc., we believe in investing in today’s youth because they are the foundation of our future communities. Our mission is not just about academic success but about empowering young people to discover who they are, what they can achieve, and how they can make a difference in the world.

Providing a safe, supportive, and engaging environment ensures that every young person has the tools, knowledge, and confidence to create a successful and fulfilling future.

From Me 2 U, Inc. provides WEEKEND-ONLY youth programming and evening and weekend internship opportunities for working college students.
