A special thank you to our 2026–27 Scholarship Committee!

Our committee members spent countless hours reviewing applications and resumes, making detailed notes, interviewing candidates, and carefully deliberating to select this year’s outstanding recipients.

We truly could not have done it without your time, thoughtfulness, and dedication. Because of you, our students are now one step closer to their educational goals.

Thank you for investing in the next generation.

From experiments to self-defense, last month was all about growth, learning, and leadership at our R.O.C. program!

Our students attended STEMFest, an incredible event organized by the 100 Black Men of Stamford. They got to dive deep into hands-on innovation and explore the endless possibilities of STEM!
To top off an amazing month of growth, our students also stepped into their power during a hands-on self-defense class. Huge thanks to Jess and Molly for leading such an impactful session, and to the Stamford Police Department for providing the space to make it happen!

Two weeks ago, our R.O.C. program was transformed into a space of pure creativity and healing. led a wonderful paint and (apple juice) sip workshop, showing our students how art can be a powerful tool for emotional management and self-growth.

To make the experience even more grounding, we paired the painting with a soothing sound healing session led by and .33.

What a wonderful Saturday!

Last month, Heart & Purpose led the P.E.A.R.L. program, specifically designed to support and uplift high school girls in our community.

Through workshops on identity & self-esteem, effective communication, and navigating "Being a Woman in Today’s World," these students leaned into their potential. Between vision board activities and spirited debates on modern issues, the energy in the room was inspiring!

We are incredibly grateful for the Stamford Community Micro-Grant. This funding is a direct investment in the resilience and leadership of our local youth.

Stay tuned for more!
