Dr. Ikenna Martin and Dr. Faraji Martin step into these young lives right when it matters most—middle school. These years are awkward, emotional, and full of pressure. But our Youth Leaders show up every day, offering more than programming—they offer presence.
This is not just an “after-school program.” It’s a new beginning.
Ikenna and Faraji walk alongside each youth every step of the way, meeting with families, helping with homework, guiding academic choices, reviewing college options, supporting FAFSA completion, and showing up for high school and college graduations even when no one else is there.
“We got you.” Dr. Ikenna & Dr. Faraji Martin
Their message is simple but powerful: unconditional support. And the youth know it.
You’re going to mess up. You just have to learn from your mistakes and push forward.
