Our story began as late blooming college interns, going back to school to be more qualified to help people. Our meeting took place in the basement of a private high school in the middle of Chicago working from a shared space. On our journey learning from life, separate from each other we both observed the obstacles faced by those with financial setbacks, learning disabilities, and emotional challenges. We were blessed to meet the next generation of young adults who were bright, brilliant, intelligent, and resilient; who needed guidance. With the resources provided by the high school we were able to meet some of their needs, but soon we would discover there were many things still needed beyond the scope of the high school's ability.
From that need, we gave birth to STFWE inc, an organization that stands on four pillars. We worked to build a curriculum and from that grew STFWE Inc. We are now able to share our blessings with greater Chicagoland Area Community. Being life long learners, we strive to apply the lessons we've learned to prepare young adults for a successful, sustainable future. We continue to be blessed to help young adults recognize their own potential. We partner with organizations dedicated to helping those who struggle with adversities by encouraging them to overcome and succeed. We recognize the oppressive forces our clients are challenged by within the system that they are expected to thrive in despite their individuality.
