Marcus Jones, one of our first students, speaks from his heart about the program that helped shape his life - Create Your Dreams!

Please consider making a donation, we can’t do this work without You! Every dollar matters ❤️ Since we opened our doors over 30 years ago on the Westside of Atlanta, in the Bankhead community - 100% of students who completed our program graduated high school, 98% enrolled in college, and currently 80% have either earned their degree or are still enrolled. #firstgen #extremementoring #welovecyd
