Mission
FOUNDED BY GRANT BENNETT IN 2020 AT THE HEIGHT OF COVID-19, THE TWO-SIX PROJECT WAS BORN FROM A DEEP PASSION FOR COMMUNITY AND A BOLD VISION FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE. BY CONNECTING YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS, CREATIVES, AND ATHLETES WITH YOUTH FROM MARGINALIZED BACKGROUNDS, THE ORGANIZATION QUICKLY BECAME A POWERFUL CATALYST FOR CHANGE IN BENNETTS HOMETOWN OF FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA. THROUGH GRASSROOTS PROGRAMMING, STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS, AND COLLABORATIONS WITH INFLUENTIAL ORGANIZATIONS LIKE GOOGLE, MICROSOFT, DREAMVILLE, AND THE NBA, THE TWO-SIX PROJECT HAS EVOLVED INTO A VITAL RESOURCE FOR MARGINALIZED YOUTH ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. LED BY A DYNAMIC TEAM OF YOUNG PROFESSIONALS, THE PROJECT IS EMPOWERING THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS THROUGH INNOVATIVE, COMMUNITY-DRIVEN INITIATIVES.
