Our Story

Every impactful movement begins with a simple idea. Growing up, we faced significant challenges due to a lack of resources and exposure. However, our lives took a transformative turn when we were introduced to the military community. This exposure unveiled a world of opportunities beyond the limitations of our upbringing. The military instilled in us the values of discipline, resilience, and the power of community support. It was here that we understood the profound impact that access to resources and mentorship could have on a young person’s life. Inspired by this understanding, we founded the Larry and C’Josette Curtis Foundation, Inc., with a mission to provide opportunities for learning and growth to youth who, like us, might not have the resources or exposure they need to thrive.

Our foundation is rooted in empathy and understanding. We know firsthand the challenges that come with limited opportunities, and we are dedicated to changing that narrative for others. Through programs focused on education, skill development, and mentorship, we aim to empower the next generation to reach their full potential. We invite you to join us in this movement for change. Your support can help us expand our reach and provide more youth with the tools they need to succeed. Whether through donations, partnerships, or volunteering, your involvement can make a significant difference.

We are proud to align with organizations who share our commitment to community giving and empowerment. Together, we can create a brighter future for our youth and build a community where every young person has the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. Join us in making a lasting impact. Together, we can turn dreams into reality and create a legacy of positive change.
