We’re putting TrueYOU® and our programs into the education system through grants — starting with the communities usually served last.
We built something that helps people + price isn’t the only way in.
Our nonprofit puts our tools and services into schools and community programs through grants. Over time, it becomes a public benefit company.
Where we’re starting:
- Minority-serving, low-income, and underserved communities both internationally and in the United States with organizations that we have a long-standing history of advisory, fund raising and collaboration
- Our plans for global expansion, and ultimately conversion to a public benefit organization, are underway.
How it works:
We don’t give back at the end. We built it in from the start.
CUNY Black Male Initiative (BMI)
The CUNY Black Male Initiative is a university-wide program, launched in 2005 and running across 30-plus CUNY campuses, that supports the enrollment, retention, and graduation of students long underrepresented in higher education — particularly African, African American/Black, Caribbean, and Latino/Hispanic men. Grown from an honor society model at Medgar Evers College, it pairs academic support with mentorship, socioemotional programming, and pipelines into medicine, law, and justice. The idea is plain: these young men don’t need lowered bars, they need someone to say I’ve got your back, and a structure that means it.
New Solutions Network is a sponsor and educational collaborator.

Jegna Klub
The Jegna Klub is a Kansas City, Kansas nonprofit moving young people from consumers of media into owners of it. Built by educator Coach Mo and music industry veteran Tone Henderson, it teaches youth closest to the juvenile justice system a real trade — production, editing, broadcast — through its own media platforms. Jegna is an Ethiopian word for one who protects, provides, and speaks truth to power, and that’s the whole idea.

Project 201
Project 201 is a Jersey City nonprofit that mentors young people through sports, education, and real-world experience — meeting them in schools, in the streets, and in the system. Founded by Shawn Kelly, known as “Coach Kellz,” the name carries the local area code: a commitment to represent and uplift the community it comes from. The work pairs strong role models with safe spaces and creative outlets, building confidence, character, and a path forward through structure, love, and opportunity.
