Chris had been working for years to reach out and mentor troubled youth.  He was able to mentor several youth from behind the bars during visitation and he encouraged them to change the course of their lives and through his shared experiences he wanted them to know that their lives matter.

Chris was dedicated to empowering youth.  He pinned his vision and goals which are the "Foundation of the Foundation."

• Give our Youth a vision for a promising future.
• Create an atmosphere of comfort and trust which will allow our Youth to openly express themselves with someone who can relate to their problems and to render aid.
• Give Youth an opportunity to witness first hand what can happen if the wrong path is traveled and to encourage them to turn around before it is too late.
• To help heal them where they hurt through love, understanding, accountability, forgiveness, opportunity and second chances.
• Help parents to understand the problems and challenges they are facing with their troubled Youth.
• Teach them to love themselves and to utilize their gifts to encourage them to lead promising and productive lives.
• Provide food, clothing, financial assistance, tutors, mentorship and aid to those who need it.
• Provide scholarships to those who have a desire to further their education.
• Have retreats and mentoring programs which will allow them to have fun while building character and instilling valuable life lessons to enable and empower them to make sound and wise choices for their lives.
• Have Youth forums in schools that will allow their voices to be heard and to enforce that we are listening and are concerned about their needs.
• To be present and available in their lives.
