At the Evelyn Stokes Foundation, Inc., we are committed to nurturing the potential of young people, ages 13 to 23, to become impactful adults who dedicate themselves to enhancing the lives of marginalized and underserved communities. Our goal is to foster the development of innovative programs, policies, and procedures that substantially improve these communities' conditions.
Based in Metro Atlanta, the Evelyn Stokes Foundation strategically trains a select group of ten highly gifted and motivated youths from zip codes 30034, 30038, and 30058. Our mission is realized through the development and implementation of policies, procedures, and programs designed specifically to support and uplift underserved areas. Our efforts are powered by the generosity of our donors and the strength of our work relationships.
We achieve our objectives by engaging closely with a variety of influential local, state, federal, and international organizations. These partnerships involve members of Congressional staffs, governmental agencies, the Peace Corps, the U.S. State Department, the United Nations, the African Union, and other similar entities. Our collaborative efforts are focused on creating and administering effective initiatives that bring about real change.
Looking ahead, we aim to expand our network and form partnerships with comparable organizations worldwide, increasing our impact and fostering global change.
Our participants are at the heart of our foundation. They engage monthly with leaders and representatives from organizations that have successfully addressed the needs of marginalized and underserved communities. This exposure is crucial in developing their understanding and capabilities in real-world settings.
In addition to these interactions, our participants are actively involved in regular local community service efforts, further grounding their learning in practical experience. A key component of their educational journey includes planned trips to Washington, D.C., and the United Nations, where they will meet with policymakers and observe the intricacies of policy implementation firsthand.
By supporting the Evelyn Stokes Foundation, you are investing in the future leaders who will enact positive change in the world's most underserved areas. Whether through mentorship, donations, or partnerships, your involvement is crucial to our continued success and expansion. Together, we can cultivate a generation that is not only aware of the challenges faced by underserved communities but also equipped to tackle them effectively.
