Building Bridges for Families in Transition
We provide life-enriching community experiences for families navigating the challenges of separation and divorce. Through partnerships with local community organizations, we create opportunities for parents and children to strengthen their bonds and find moments of joy during difficult transitions.
Donate to the Andre Young FoundationWho We Serve
The Andre Young Foundation serves a community that often falls through the cracks of traditional support systems: parents and children adapting to life after separation or divorce. These families face unique emotional and financial challenges that can make even simple joys feel out of reach.
Our Impact
Through community partnerships, we create memorable family experiences that foster connection and encourage families to step outside their comfort zones. While supporting local small businesses and community organizations, we provide positive environments where families can make new memories together and strengthen their bonds through shared experiences.
Leadership Initiatives
Every year, Andre Young provides two Speaking Engagements or Leadership Trainings that focus on enhancing leadership and work-life harmony to non-profit organizations and underprivileged schools, asking only for a donation to the Foundation in return.
These contributions help fund our mission while spreading valuable leadership insights to communities that need them most.
The story behind our mission...
Β
I'm Andre Young, founder of the Andre Young Foundation andΒ You Evolving Now, LLC. My journey to creating this foundation began over a decade ago during my own divorce β one of the most challenging periods of my life. Working three jobs, eating spaghetti nearly every night because it was all I could afford, and seeing my children half the time, I experienced firsthand the emotional and financial toll of family transition.
During this difficult time, a simple act of kindness changed everything: a coworker gave me $20 to take my children out to eat. It was humbling to accept, but it led to what I call my best "YES" ever. When my son asked if he could order a soda β after a year of drinking only tap water β I got to say "Yes!" That moment restored my sense of being a provider and gave us all a precious break from our daily struggles.
This experience inspired the foundation's mission. We aim to give other families going through similar transitions their own "best YES" moments β opportunities to step away from the stress, connect with each other, and create positive memories during challenging times.
