Www.Aimiuwu.Com,Inc - "Aimiuwu's Making It Program"

We are a non-profit organization and was founded in August 2001. We received our official 501 (c) (3) status from the United States IRS on May 2006.

Our goal is to use math, dance-drama, and local business leaders to show youth from low income homes the value of a good education as the foundation of economic success. Priority is given to dropouts, potential dropouts, teen parents, and those without working role models.

Program Summary:

Aimiuwu's Making It Program is about the strategies used by at-risk young adults to "make it" in the world of work and school. The program shows young people how much they lose if they fail to complete high school or go back to school to get an education. The program helps young people look at some of the costs and consequences of not taking responsibility for their own development and gives them the opportunity to decide if they are worth paying the price.

Program Objectives:

To teach youth the economic cost of failing to get an education
To teach youth strategies to succeed in school or get a GED
