??? Join us in making dreams a reality! ??? ??"I was taking care of my grandmother and having a very hard time focusing in school. Once I heard about Empower 225 and got into the mentorship and education programs, my life completely turned around. If I would have stayed on the path I was on, I would have never graduated high school. The staff at Empower 225 stuck with me at my lowest and helped me find my purpose and push me into what I'm pursing now. My plans are to enroll at BRCC and study carpentry. To me, Empower 225 is.....family." - Xavier ??As we gear up for our "Dress Your Dream" Gala on April 18th, we're reminded of the incredible impact your support has on young lives, just like Xavier's. ?? ???Your sponsorship and attendance at the gala directly contribute to programs that empower youth to discover their purpose, just like Xavier did.

??? A Grateful Harvest of Knowledge! ??? A heartfelt thank you to Southern Ag's Student Garden Program! ??

The joy of seeing a garden flourish is unparalleled, but the real magic happens in the kitchen! ??? Our students have transformed their homegrown veggies into delicious, nutritious meals. ???? Thank you, Southern Ag, for being the soil in which our students' potential sprouted and flourished. ?? Your support has truly enriched their educational journey.
