Mission Statement

Our mission is to help young people construct bright futures by providing after-school programs that focus on building life-skills and improving academic performance. Our vision is that with our educational and emotional support, like the rose that grew from the concrete, these underserved youths will flourish in their communities and beyond.

About Us

We Got Y'all is an award-winning after-school multidisciplinary program for underserved middle-school and high-school students. Our all-star team of Youth Liaisons strive to furnish our students with life skills and academic habits to help them succeed in a world that, to this point, has not supported them.

We feel intimately connected to the idea that "to have and to give to others is a nobler sacrifice than to never have had at all" (author unknown) so we give of ourselves unconditionally to do our part in shaping America's future.

We believe every child deserves a chance to be brilliant, and we want our students to realize that there is more out there for them -- they are not limited by their surroundings or status... because every child is capable of thriving. As the late spiritual poet Biggie reminds us, we remind our kids: Sky is the limit and you know that you can have what you want, be what you want.

We recognize how crucial it is to use a more holistic approach when working with young people, so each youth in our program builds meaningful relationships with our Staff as they develop various academic and life skills, set goals, and complete community service projects. With core values like these, it's no wonder our students are ready to succeed... because whatever they need, we got them.
