Mission

The Love, Unity & Values (LUV) Institute is committed to its mission to inspire hope and empower youth, living in high burden communities impacted by trauma and violence, with economic opportunities while building resiliency and social-emotional competencies. Guided by the organization's strategic plan, the LUV Institute has two distinct strategies for reaching youth: 1) life, college, and career preparedness and 2) social responsibility and engagement. Using these strategies, LUV Institute's vision is to see the manifestation of the innate potential of young people to flourish.
