Giving Youth a Chance

Programs

Family Enrichment

We give marginalized students and their families a chance to experience the "luxury" that is family bonding without concerns for cost or safety.

Academic Enrichment

We champion all growth and any progress in academia, rather than just the highest achievements.

Self-Enrichment

We provide space for students to refine their natural talents and a chance to turn their passions into opportunities.

Young Champions P.A.SS

Preparing Athlete's for Scholarly Success

Young Champions is a subsidiary of One Plus One Equals U, Inc., created to combat the high school and college dropout rates of athletes who have fallen behind academically in school. As one parent described it, it is “the only program of its kind on a local level” that gives youth a second chance to “pass” in life. Our goal is to keep student athletes off the streets and in school where they can further their education academically and athletically.
