BSFP
B.S.F.P is a nonprofit
organization that aims to help youth reach heights they may have thought to be
impossible. We empower them to understand that life is not a destination, it’s
a journey and encourage them to take advantage of all it has to offer.
I grew up in a culture that
lived by the "community raises up the young people." We didn't have
such exposure to technology, and social media wasn't the mainstream (good, bad
and indifferent). We were focused on school, good grades and making a better
tomorrow. We also didn't have as many distractions as exist today that leave
our youth bewildered and feeling out of place and unmotivated.
Today, if an individual doesn’t
look a certain way, come from a certain economic status, have a certain style
about them, they don't fit in. The desire to seek higher education is of less
importance to youth today and school systems are losing the ability to keep
them motivated and inspired. It’s hard to compete with what the world is
offering as "immediate" but temporary gratification.
Youth, today, are not as driven
as they can be. They are unfulfilled, distracted, unmotivated and
uninspired.
They are being influenced by
standards that:
Don’t reflect who they truly
are,
Don’t provide direction for
their success tomorrow,
Leave them disengaged,
Don’t create opportunities for
them to think big beyond today
This shouldn't be the outlook
of our future. I wanted to influence and help change this perception and
reignite purpose in our youth. Reestablish the drive that inspires them and
rebuilds our communities.
Brothers & Sisters’ of
Faith with Purpose (BSFP) is an Incorporated 501(c)3 non-profit organization
that was established to help inspire and motivate youth to strive for more thereby creating more generations of goal
getters.
