“It Takes A Village…
We Are The Village!
Mission Statement
To build and strengthen underserved communities, we provide life skill programs, Group and one-on-one therapy, tutoring, mentoring, community givebacks, and short-term emergency housing to children and teenage persons under 20 free of charge. We also provide job placement to those looking to enter the human service career field.
What is IOU?
It’s On Us is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded
on the premise that all we need is everything we already possess.
We all have a gift or talent that can be used to help one another.
Whether you donate, volunteer, or work, we all can help change
the quality of living in the lives of those in our community.
“IOU is my open love letter to every person who decided that my purpose holds greater significance than the obstacles that prevent me from realizing it.”
How We Serve
Just like any other living organism, IOU will grow in phases: (1) Hunting & Gathering, (2) Plant Water Repeat, (3) Give Thanks, Then Propagate
It is most important to us that the community we serve is familiar with and willing to receive all that we want to give. Each of the phases has a different focus but will ultimately build one another to provide the specific needs of our communities.
We are currently in Phase One
Hunting&Gathering
In this phase, IOU will begin building community relationships with nonprofits and other members of the community and obtaining monetary means to pay organizers/instructors/quarterly get-backs. This money will Be raised through donations and grants.
