MISSION
The Mission of The Concrete Rose Foundation is to embrace, empower, and educate minority girls and equip them with the skills to make positive life choices.
VISION
The Concrete Roses Foundation envisions a community with a constant effort to cultivate a sense of self-worth and equality in adolescent minorities which will afford them the same opportunities regardless of their race, gender, environment or socio-economic status.
BELIEFS
We believe that developing communication skills, improving academic performance, building self-esteem, managing social & emotional wellness, and practicing bullying prevention are the keys to maximizing the potential of all girls regardless of their background.
PURPOSE
The purpose of The Concrete Rose Foundation is to provide exposure and opportunities to minority youth through mentorship, aiming to minimize the challenges faced by adolescents in underserved communities.
Four Principles:
Character
Building Integrity and Resilience
We foster integrity and resilience in girls through programs like our etiquette workshop and cyber safety and bullying prevention sessions. These activities help develop self-confidence and a sense of responsibility, ensuring that our participants grow into strong, ethical individuals.
Leadership
Cultivating Future Leaders
Through our hands-on workshops, we prepare girls for leadership roles. Each year, peers elect a Miss Concrete Rose, recognizing outstanding leadership and community involvement. We also offer positions such as Student President and Student Secretary, providing opportunities for girls to develop essential skills to become confident, capable leaders who can positively impact their communities.
Education
Empowering Through Knowledge
Our Reading Roses initiative bridges the racial achievement gap by encouraging a love for literature through books with African American characters. Educational trips, such as our HBCU tours, inspire academic excellence and expose girls to rich cultural heritage, enriching their educational journey.
Service
Instilling a Spirit of Service
Service is central to our mission. Activities like feeding the homeless and community street cleanups, our girls learn the value of giving back. These experiences instill empathy and a lifelong commitment to helping others, embodying the spirit of service that defines he Concrete Rose Foundation.
Education Is The Heart of Our Foundation
At The Concrete Rose Foundation, we understand the importance of fostering the next generation's success. That's why we have a team of certified educators who are knowledgeable in a range of academic subjects, as well as mentoring and coaching. Our approach is different from other similar programs, as we strive to provide each student with tailored care and support to ensure their long-term success. We believe that every child has the potential for greatness, and we are here to help them unlock it.
