Welcome to Swing High
Foundation
We are a grassroots organization that operates through receiving grants, fundraising events, monetary and in-kind donations.
Our Mission
At Swing High Foundation, our mission is to be a cornerstone of support and empowerment for low-income and underserved communities in the City of Chicago. We are dedicated to helping at-risk teens and young adults, especially those who are parents, develop essential life skills that foster personal growth, build resilience, and create lasting positive change in their lives and communities. Through our programs, we provide access to computer training and digital literacy, equipping individuals with the technological skills necessary to thrive in today’s workforce and bridge the digital divide.
Our Vision
Our goal at Swing High Foundation is to empower youth by equipping them with essential life skills and connecting them to the resources they need to thrive. In addition to offering classes, workshops, educational resources, and certification programs, we serve as a liaison to ensure individuals access the services best suited to their needs. Whether through direct support or by accompanying participants as they connect with intake specialists and service providers, we are committed to walking alongside them on their journey toward success and self-sufficiency.
Meet The Founder
I founded Swing High Foundation because of my personal experience as a teen mom in the City of Chicago with minimal support. I understand firsthand the challenges that come with being a teenage parent and the limited opportunities available without basic life skills or education. I am passionate about creating a safe, judgment-free space where young people can feel uplifted and supported. Through Swing High, I aim to impart essential tools like balance, time management, and accountability, helping youth become thriving and progressive members of society.
As the founder of a nonprofit organization, I am dedicated to charitable generosity and meaningful community service. My work reflects my commitment to making a positive impact by connecting individuals to resources and opportunities they need. Whether by offering direct support, accompanying participants to connect with intake specialists, or facilitating access to life-changing services, Swing High serves as a liaison and guide for those navigating their journeys toward success.
At my core, I value integrity, honesty, and dependability, striving to embody these traits in all aspects of my life and work. I am deeply committed to personal growth and recovery and take pride in supporting others on their journeys. Compassion and empathy drive me to connect with people on a genuine level, ensuring they feel seen, heard, and empowered to reach their full potential. Together, we can build a stronger, more inclusive community for all.
