BUILDERS OF PEOPLE INITIATIVE

20 Years of Real Work. Real People. Real Impact.

For more than 20 years, this work has supported people through real-life challenges by building identity, strengthening emotional wellness, stabilizing families, and developing confident young leaders. What you are supporting is a movement shaped by hands-on service long before it had a nonprofit name.

Your support strengthens programs that help youth discover who they are, create leadership platforms for emerging voices, provide emotional and identity tools for boys, girls, men, and women, and build safe, healing-centered environments for growth across Detroit, New Jersey, and beyond.
