WHO WE ARE
Www.developingouryouth.org
As an alternative school Head Master in one of the most disadvantaged cities in America, Jack Solomon recognized the need for youth to have diversions from the dangers of crime and the lifestyles that come with it. With this experience, he realized that the need of mental, educational, and financial services were necessary focal points. Developing Our Youth was created to provide opportunities, resources, and guidance to young individuals, enabling them to realize their full potential and become active contributors to society. Through our programs and initiatives, we aim to foster personal growth, develop essential skills, promote leadership, and cultivate a sense of social responsibility among the youth.
