History
Prior to its founding on December 15, 2005, CEO Anthony Webb envisioned
the creation of an organization charged with the purpose of bestowing
the next generations with the tools necessary to facilitate the
transition through adolescence by providing youth with a supportive
network and tangible tools to increase their potential to succeed.
