Who We Are

Keepsafe offers youth experiences that teach them resilience (growth mindset), productivity (hands-on experiences with trades, gardening, and entrepreneurship), and how to become rooted citizens (give back and offer services) to their community. It also supports students’ academic success through tutoring and early learning literacy.

Our Vision

To empower youth to become resilient, productive, and rooted citizens in their community by closing the achievement gap and giving them experiences that will impact their success as they move into adulthood.

Our Mission

To provide a strong social, emotional, academic, and career foundation while building long-lasting influences in our community
