Situation

“The purpose of life is to contribute in some way to making things better.”

Robert Francis Kennedy

Across rural America and amongst Veteran and migrant communities there are unique challenges to accessing vital healthcare and education resources.  These have been magnified during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Mission

“We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy.”

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Improve access and delivery of healthcare and education resources to communities in need via direct action on the ground.  Our ultimate goal is to not only solve short term problems, but lay the foundation to help create strong relationships with sustainable changes that benefit all generations. 

Execution

“..and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.”

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Identify pressing civic and humanitarian needs, engage with those in need and utilize resources we have identified through prior experience and projects.  

Sustain

“Courage is not the absence of fear, but the capacity to act despite our fears.”

John McCain

Build longitudinal relationships in communities often left behind—rural America, Veterans and migrant workers, in particular.  Support policies that allow equal opportunity to all Americans, with an emphasis on education and healthcare.

Future goal: work with Rutgers University and Univ of Texas Rio Grande Valley to establish and fund a project-based scholarship endowment for undergraduate students becoming teachers and health care professionals.  The projects to earn the scholarship will focus on civic and community work led by our recipients in their respective hometowns in NJ and TX.
