Mission
Our mission is to empower and inspire youth through mentorship and coaching. Providing them with life skills through diverse opportunities via programming for Financial Literacy, Physical and Mental Health Awareness, Education, and Technology. Club 818 is dedicated to building confidence, resilience, and the skills needed for each young person to thrive in their personal and academic lives, and make a positive impact through community service and exposure to The Arts.”
Vision
Our vision is a world where all children have access to the guidance and support of caring mentors and coaches. We envision a future where every child has the opportunity to develop their full potential, regardless of their background or circumstances. Through our programs, we strive to create a community of empowered and inspired children, equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in life. We are committed to making this vision a reality.
Why Club 818?
In today’s rapidly evolving world, youth face unique challenges. While many organizations focus primarily on at-risk youth, Club 818 is different. We believe that every child, regardless of background or circumstance, deserves access to essential life skills that will help them thrive in an increasingly complex society. We don’t just prepare young people to survive; we prepare them to excel.
Our mission is simple: to provide all youth—ages 8 to 18—with holistic life skills in seven key areas: financial literacy, mental health, physical health, arts, academics, STEM, and social skills. These areas are essential to helping young people navigate adulthood, particularly in the wake of the social and economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
