YOU GOT A FRIEND IN ME AT A GLANCE
A Distinct Identity
You Got A Friend In Me is a 510(c)3 non profit organization. We know that our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly through the actions of our initiatives. In March of 2020, our Non-Profit Organization realized that by working together and combining our knowledge we could overcome our challenges and increase the ratio of success in minority communities across the nation, and that is why we ultimately decided to launch You Got A Friend In Me.
