About Take2 America Foundation
The concept of Take2 America began in 2016 as a needed solution for conflict resolution in everyday living and a means to help our youth manage and overcome adverse situations. It was conceptualized as an outlet to communicate, identify causes and effects, and jointly create a plan of action to resolve issues and become a catalyst of change.
Our goal is to contribute toward manifesting justice, love, peace, and nonviolence in humanity's hearts and souls. Healing society's wounds by contributing toward identifying a path to alleviate the pain that exists within our society will make a way for pride, power, strength, and togetherness.
