The USP is a bold attempt to address some of the most pressing disparities plaguing urban communities in the US. Starting with South Atlanta, this project endeavors to create a transformative model that can be replicated across the nation.

 

The Problems We Address:

The USP provides sustainable solutions to problems consistently found in marginalized urban communities, such as:

●    Poverty
●    Crime
●    High Incarceration Rates
●    High Rates of Illness
●    Low Life Expectancy
●    Lack of Access to Healthy Food
●    Ineffective Education
●    Limited Access to Quality & Affordable Housing

Three Basic Components:

The USP is a holistic model that consists of three basic components:
●    Vocational Training Centers
●    Sustainable Farms
●    Green Homes

 

The Four Pillars of SAVE:

SAVE Institute is founded on four pillars:
●    Service — Instills humility, selflessness and altruism
●    Agriculture — Reconnects one to nature and their natural self

●    Vocational Training — Ingrains the value of work; gives one something to contribute

●    Entrepreneurship — Liberation from dependency on others; motivates creativity

     

    Mission: To save disempowered youth from cycles of poverty, self-destruction and lack of purpose through engagement in service, agriculture, vocational training and entrepreneurship. 

    Vision: A world where all youth are empowered to unleash their full potential and utilize their unique gifts to uplift their communities.  

    Theory of Change: It is our theory that marginalized communities can be radically transformed, if one can spark an awakening amongst its youth: an awakening to the realization of their true and ultimate purpose. Without this, they will be destructive to both themselves and the world.
