Our Vision is to create a self-sustaining generations of youth in rural Liberia through health promotion, education, social ventures, etc. In the next few years, we hope to extend our organization to cover three counties to include Margibi, Bong, and Grand Bassa. Our Mission is to “Bridge Rural-Urban Gaps” by ensuring a healthy, strong and educated breed of young people from rural communities through advocacy, accountability, good governance and capacity building programs to put them on par with other young people across the Nation and the globe at large.

The Incorporators of the organization are all youth who have the passion to address the issue of poor education, unemployment among youth and producing young community leaders.
