About Us
Our mission
Empowering Futures, Inspiring Dreams: Our mission at Excelling in Excellence is to uplift and transform the lives of low-income and under privileged youth in our community. We are dedicated to providing comprehensive support, mentorship, and educational resources that break down barriers to success. Through tailored programs and a nurturing environment, we aim to equip these young individuals with the skills, confidence, and opportunities needed to overcome socioeconomic challenges. Together, we are building a foundation where every low-income child can thrive, dream big, and achieve their fullest potential, fostering a brighter future for our community.
Our history
Excelling in Excellence was founded in 2019 by a Veronica Jackson and other community leaders who recognized the need for a local organization dedicated to helping the youth and low income individuals. Since then, we have grown into a thriving nonprofit, serving hundreds of individuals each year. Over the years we have created several programs including SWAT camp, Elevate Mentorship and Excelling Tutoring Services to give back to our community and help those in need. With the help of more community citizens and leaders we hope to continue to expand and provide more for our communities' youth.
