The life path for black and Latino boys is often the same. They leave high school without graduating, struggle to find employment, commit a crime and then find themselves in jail. The majority of which return to a community plagued by high unemployment, violence and a lack of hope. This cycle is known as the school to prison pipeline and frequently repeats generation, after generation, after generation. Improve Your Tomorrow, otherwise known as IYT was created in 2013 to break the school to prison pipeline by helping young men of color get to and through college. IYT started with seventeen students at Valley High School in South Sacramento, these seventeen laid the foundation for what is now the largest education nonprofit only serving young men of color in the country. IYT currently serves over 1000 young men of color through three academic programs including the IYT College Academy, IYT Continue to Dream Academy and IYT U.

MISSION: Bring homeless orphaned children into loving family homes with mothers and fathers, where they will feel God's love for them and become self-reliant adults, breaking the cycle of poverty. We are creating a self-sustaining agriculture based farming community with elementary, secondary and trade schools. This community will reach out to the local villages with clean water initiatives, education on personal hygiene, sanitation and improved farming techniques. There will also be a medical/dental clinic which will used for the community and visiting "medical mission trips". The children will be taught of God's love for them and to live by Christian principles and values.
