Darron's Rescue & Youth Center: Empowering Communities

Our Story

Darron's Rescue & Youth Center was born from heartbreak. We lost our son Darron to the struggles of mental health and addiction. He, like many others, couldn't find the support he desperately needed. In his memory, we created this center to be a beacon of hope for communities of color and underserved groups who face barriers to mental health care, addiction treatment, and essential services. We are also dedicated to addressing the crisis of gun violence, providing safe spaces and prevention programs for our youth.

Creating a Thriving, Inclusive Community

Vision Statement: To create a thriving, inclusive community where individuals and families from communities of color and other underrepresented groups are empowered with the resources, support, and opportunities they need to achieve their fullest potential.

Mission Statement: Darron's Rescue & Youth Center is dedicated to providing essential resources, educational programs, and community-driven initiatives that foster personal growth, self-sufficiency, and a stronger, more equitable community.
