THE PROJECT
Although From Me 2 U Inc. was formally incorporated by the State of Ohio on September 29, 2014, and is a 501(c)(3) IRS tax-exempt nonprofit organization, it is also a successor organization.
The programs and services From Me 2 U, Inc. were formerly offered by V.O.I.C.E. Consulting, a for-profit social enterprise business, and the management company for From Me 2 U, Inc.
From Me 2 U, Inc. focuses on positive youth development. Youth are encouraged and challenged to explore and identify their talents and personal challenges that may prevent them from excelling. Youth can enroll in several programs to support and build self-awareness, leadership, and stewardship.
We also believe that to provide adequate support to our youth, we must support and develop aspiring professionals and families.
From Me, 2u, Inc. provides WEEKEND-ONLY youth programming and evening and weekend internship opportunities for working students.
