Profile

The Be More Foundation is an anti-poverty organization that uses media literacy to help urban youth of color organize their priorities and make life choices most likely to disrupt cycles of poverty. We have chosen this target population because they statistically experience the worst outcomes by nearly every economic metric. it is our belief that by teaching urban youth how to deconstruct counterproductive messaging and realign personal priorities, they can disrupt the perpetuation of poverty and increase their life chances.
