OUR STORY
Dedication and Service
Welcome to the Saving Our Communities Foundation (SOC) website! Get ready to embark on a transformative journey of empowerment and positive change.
At SOC, we're not just an organization; we're a vibrant community hub dedicated to uplifting both youth and families.
Our core belief is simple yet profound: every individual, regardless of background or circumstance, deserves access to resources, opportunities, and unwavering support. Through our diverse array of programs, we strive to empower youth to become confident leaders and provide families with the tools they need to thrive.
With over a decade of nonprofit leadership, SOC(Previously Glenda Clayton stands as a beacon of hope and progress in our community. We are committed to fostering social cohesion, economic prosperity, and environmental stewardship. Our goal is to leave behind a legacy of empowered individuals who shape a brighter tomorrow for generations to come.
At SOC, our offerings go beyond traditional mentoring programs. In addition to the dynamic Future Leaders Matter Mentoring Program (FLM), launched in 2021, we also offer family mentor cohorts. Because at SOC, we understand that empowering families is key to building strong, resilient communities.
But wait, there's more! Coming soon, we're excited to introduce "Paving the Road to Roses," a groundbreaking family to inmate program. This initiative will provide support and resources to families impacted by incarceration, paving the way for brighter futures and stronger communities.
And let's not forget about our holiday program, which brings joy and support to over 300 families annually. Operating from October 1st to December 25th, this program spreads warmth and kindness throughout our community, embodying the spirit of giving and compassion.
Join us in our mission to make a difference. Together, let's create a world where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and shine.
Welcome to SOC – where community empowerment begins.
