The Logan Wilkes Foundation empowers youth from underserved communities to achieve academic, personal, and professional success through hands-on learning.

By combining STEM-based healthy food education with workforce development, we cultivate healthier lifestyles and career readiness.

Our programs educate, enrich, and equip young people—especially Black and Latinx students—to build confidence, economic security, and a brighter future.

Wellness: The foundation focuses on cultivating self-love and emphasizes the importance of what individuals put into their bodies. Access to fresh produce, general care, and fitness training are crucial components of the foundation's efforts. The goal is to improve the mental, physical, and emotional well-being of the communities it serves, particularly in areas where additional resources are needed to reduce factors that negatively affect youth.

Workforce Development: Through hands-on experiences and employment training, the foundation provides youth with opportunities to access jobs at various companies. The foundation takes pride in offering developmental skills in industries such as culinary, food service, and hospitality. By doing so, it not only helps youth gain valuable skills but also contributes to building a more capable and empowered workforce.

Community Service: The foundation was founded with the intention of giving back to the community. It actively promotes volunteering in various forms, emphasizing the importance of community engagement and strengthening bonds within the community. Through volunteering, the foundation provides valuable experiences and insights to its constituents, further enriching the lives of both volunteers and those they serve.

The foundation's vision is to implement programs that support positive transitional growth for youth as they develop into young adults.

This vision places strong emphasis on mentorship, life skills development, coaching, and the principle of giving back to the community.
