Our Vision
At Cultivating You Inc. we believe all people have a gift. We seek to help underserved youth
uncover and develop these sometimes hidden gifts through reading comprehension, critical
thinking, and writing skills. In addition, Cultivating You instills the mechanics of Standard English
Grammar and speech communication. Thus, allowing students to discover the power within and
the ability to thrive in any environment.
Our Philosophy
Nurturing the youth is a joint effort as well as an ever-evolving cycle that extends from the home
to the schools, and everywhere in between. Every child deserves the opportunity to flourish,
enabling a life of passion and purpose. Realizing that inspiration comes in many forms, such as
people, experiences, books, and so forth. Our task is to assist youth with falling in love or
falling back in love with learning.
