The foundation was founded by Michael Thomas, a native of the United States Virgin Islands. He saw the need to connect the next generation to quality programs that share the rich culture of the Caribbean.  The foundation was founded in 2016, to support collegiate mentorship programs which offers students an opportunity to build their professional skills. In 2017, the foundation supported

disaster relief efforts in the Caribbean, impacted by hurricanes Irma and Maria

due to the increase in climate activities throughout the region. 

 

During the global pandemic 2020, we launched our Cultural Connect program which created a holistic and supportive ecosystem designed to educate and bridge the gap in cultural understanding.  We completed extensive mental health workshops and senior health services. We helped over 200 individuals with our services.

 

We build an efficient diverse community of inclusion through our programs. We focus on Youth Arts STEAM, Climate Resilience, and Community Services. With the help of our partners, we realized tremendous success. We are always excited to see the faces of the young people we support. It is paramount that the younger generation is involved in creative and cultural programs, which will help build emotional intelligence. Our community services have impacted a wide demographic from ages 5-95.
