Mission Statement
The mission of SAVE Institute is to SAVE black boys and young black men from cycles of poverty, crime, incarceration and lack of purpose through engagement in service, agriculture, vocational training and entrepreneurship.
About This Cause
SAVE Institute is fighting to SAVE black male youth from these negative cycles through a holistic formula of development experiences designed to propel them to success. SAVE is an acronym that stands for Service, Agriculture, Vocational Training and Entrepreneurship. These elements, along with our concentrated focus on character development, emotional intelligence, leadership and purpose discovery make up the foundation for all of our programs. SAVE launched a full-time accelerated high school in Atlanta in September 2021, where students can earn their diploma while being immersed in the above elements that SAVE is founded upon. The goal is to transform them into leaders that will go back into their communities as agents of change. Our current educational systems and justice systems continue to produce the same negative results. Our approach is to create an alternative system that will uplift rather than suppress. This high school program is an innovative alternative to traditional high school. This approach to high school allows for students to learn academics through projects, life experiences, agriculture, vocational work and implementing business enterprises. Students spend the majority of their school experience working on our farm, working within their vocational trade, leading service projects and piloting their own business ventures, with minimal time sitting inside of classrooms. The long-term goal is for the high school to become a boarding school, which would allow for these young men to get away from their home environments, which often pull them down, and be immersed in an uplifting environment that is propelling them forward. They will return to their communities as solutions to the problems rather than being a part of the problem.
