Our goal is to empower the youth of Hattiesburg to win in every area of their lives.

Oseola McCarty worked a lifetime ironing clothes and became a national icon of generosity after donating her life savings of $150,000 to the University of Southern Mississippi to established scholarships for needy youth. She appeared on ABC,NBC, CNN, BET, MTV and the Oprah Winfrey Show as well as being interviewed by notable television reporters Bryant Gumble and Barbara Walters. After her generous gift to USM, she was featured in Newsweek, The New York Times, People, Life, Ebony, Essence, and Jet magazines. She was also the recipient of many awards such as the Presidential Citizens Medal, Wallenberg Humanitarian Award, and the UNESCO Avicenna Medal.

🎃👻 Today was full of SPOOKTACULAR fun at Putting Many to Flight! 🧡💜

Our afterschool crew enjoyed a Trick-or-Treat Scavenger Hunt, searching for pumpkins, fall leaves, friendly ghosts, and other Halloween surprises! Along the way, they practiced teamwork, took turns, shared kind words, and made sweet memories with friends. 🍂🔎✨

A special THANK YOU to our staff and volunteers for bringing the energy and helping make today so much fun! Your time and kindness help our children SOAR! ✈️💛

At Oseola McCarty Youth Development Center, we love seeing learning, friendship, and fun come together! 🥰
