Our Mission
At Believing in Forever, our mission is to inspire and motivate young people towards community leadership through art, education, mentoring, and community service! We encourage youth to define their purpose through their gifts and talents. Our legacy isn't defined by what we collect while we are here, but what we leave behind once we are gone. Investing in our youth is Believing in Forever.
