Mission and Program Overview
Mission
Through the power of multimedia storytelling including podcasting music production and poetry we amplify the voices and experiences of DC residents east of the river. Our mission is to uncover the root causes of community challenges address trauma and celebrate resilience. By sharing these stories we strive to foster healing connection and empowerment within our community. We provide free programming to all residents especially those who live in underserved communities and for families who are close to or below the poverty line.
Project Purpose was birthed to engage, encourage, and assist citizens across Washington DC with finding employment, healing from trauma, preventing violence, and providing recreation to residents. After 10+ years of active community engagement in Wards 7 and 8, a gap in workforce development was apparent. Project Purpose aims to bridge this gap and advance vital areas needed for citizens in our community. William, Charles, and Preston grew up in the Anacostia community of Washington DC. All 3 have diverse networks and direct insight on needs in the community. Project Purpose currently runs the following programs: Workforce development, Healing Through Poetry, Mentorship Workshops, Travel Program, Kids Krank Go-Go program, Lifeguard certification classes, and a Violence Intervention program.

Our Mentorship workshop program has a wide range of smaller programs underneath it. Programs such as Boxing, Dance, Cooking, Healing Circles, and Trauma talks were created to address community trauma needs. Our travel program took youth all around DC, Maryland and Virginia. The Poetry Program | $92,007 | $92,007 |
| The Kids Krank go-go program provides cultural arts activities to over 500 children in 2023. Most of the attendees were from Wards 7 & and 8 in Washington DC. Neighborhoods in the Wards have high levels of violence and poverty. The program succeeded in not only teach DC official music "GoGo" to youth, but also helped keep youth in safe spaces, away from gun-violence. | $19,901 | $19,901 |
| Our Workforce Development program helped get 20 high-risk adults in CDL classes, it allowed 12 youth to receive Lifeguard certifications, and secured employment for 5 returning citizens. The purpose of this program is to help individuals find employment after setbacks that previously prevented them from working. In addition to employment, Project Purpose also purchased work materials needed to get people back to work. Materials include work boots, uniforms, hard hats, and tool kits. | $1,500 | $1,500 |
