Participation is often linked to higher grades and higher graduation rates. Research shows that kids' skills, habits, connections, and knowledge in these activities help them gain self-esteem and resilience and reduce the likelihood of engaging in risky behavior. Given the advantages of extracurriculars and the types of hardships associated with children from low-income families, exposure to these activities could significantly impact disadvantaged youth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62084961d3fd352910ac0cc5/2b1d7df4-f1b9-4039-964c-d77e3e096eb1/AdobeStock_282609316.jpg Learn More (Copy) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mhyouth.org/lwhoweare-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62084961d3fd352910ac0cc5/bfcc25b4-3c79-4217-bd97-3236ccb5df57/Untitled+%28360+%C3%97+540+px%29.jpg Who We Are (Copy) - Dawn Manns-Brown My sister, Dawn, was the most selfless, loving person I have ever met. Always thinking about others before herself made her the most wonderful sister, daughter, mother, wife, and person. Dawn always referred to herself as a stay-at-home mom, even when her sons were 24 and 28 at the time. Her boys meant the world to her. She embodied compassion and concern for others. When she was around, everyone felt special and loved. She lost her battle with breast cancer on July 17, 2021. She is my inspiration for starting this nonprofit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62084961d3fd352910ac0cc5/fc216681-11bb-4129-9995-05394cb5910e/Untitled+design+%288%29.png Who We Are (Copy) - Darryl Keith Horne My husband, Darryl, lost his fight with cancer on November 5, 2014. He was a very compassionate person and he had a fierce love for all aspects of sports, especially being a part of a team. He credited much of his academic and professional successes to the life lessons growing up playing sports. He loved coaching and helping kids grow, learn, and explore through sports. Darryl was an underserved kid himself. One of nine children, he grew up in a 3 bedroom home with lots of love and support. Through his involvement in sports, he was able to receive a 4-year track and field scholarship to VMI (Virginia Military Institute). Many years later, he was appointed to the school’s Board of Directors by the Governor of Virginia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62084961d3fd352910ac0cc5/d71780dc-6e3b-46fe-8ca6-fd8049c196af/family.2.jpg Who We Are (Copy) - A little about myself …. I am a mom of 3 wonderful children (who are now young adults). I try my best to see the good in each day and not take a single day for granted. I started my career as a fundraiser for a legal nonprofit in Washington, DC, then helped my husband start and build an engineering firm. After that, I stayed at home and raised our children. I now work at my local public school and it brings me in direct contact with some of these same underserved kids.
