The What If Foundation

The What If Foundation's mission is to address a lack of support and exposure by providing mentorship, scholarships, and skills training to children and young adults, in order to build a stronger community with skills to lead and succeed in life.

After School Tutoring

- Provides a structured environment for enrolled students to receive help and assistance with their homework. For many students, there is no help once they leave school. Either there is no one home or no one understands the work. This leaves the student unable to complete the assignment, placing them further and further behind the learning curve.

At-risk afterschool programs

-Provide a much-needed service to our communities. It gives children a safe place to go after school and provides nutritious food that gives them the energy, they need to concentrate on homework and join their friends in physical, educational, and social activities. For many children, this is their only opportunity to access a healthy meal after the school day ends.

Mentorship

-The mentorship program is in place for participants to receive continual support and resources as it relates to everything travel and enrichment. Mentors help the mentees set short and long-term goals, build dreams, and develop leadership skills. In addition, the mentors assist with facilitating social and educational activities. The volunteers are from various professions and backgrounds who are willing to assist mentees on their path to a bright future.

Adopt-A Family

-The What If Foundation will adopt one family each year for Christmas. This family will receive food, toys, and holiday cheer that will be sure to lift their spirits.

Back To School Bash

-The What If Foundation will host an annual back to school, fun event that will provide school supplies and backpacks to youth in at-risk communities.

Scholarship

-The What If Foundation will provide two (2) scholarships to high school seniors that excel in the classroom and/or in sports.
