MISSION STATEMENT
1,000 Ties empowers youth and their families in high-poverty communities by teaching essential life skills that foster lifelong success. Through mentorship from community role models, young men ages 8-19 build the confidence to interview, network, and break cycles of generational poverty. By involving and empowering the family members who support these young men, we create a foundation for sustainable growth and shared achievement—beginning with the simple, impactful gesture of tying a tie.
VISION STATEMENT
To create thriving communities where empowered youth and families overcome barriers, break generational cycles of poverty, and build lasting success together.

Jowan and the 1,000 Ties Life Skills Program has been the most impactful student engagement experience for our students this school year. Because of the experience, our students have demonstrated growth in the areas of social emotional well-being, academic learning and professional etiquette. This growth has been integral to the attendance success and graduation rates at all of our campuses. We are grateful, blessed and appreciative of Jowan's leadership and commitment to preparing our next generation of community professionals and leaders.
