Our story, our passion, your future

At PATRICIAS Love Youth Development, we believe every young person deserves the chance to thrive. Discover the heart behind our mission to empower Charlotte's youth for a brighter tomorrow.

Inspired by a legacy of love

PATRICIAS Love Youth Development was born from a deep-seated passion, inspired by my mother, Patricia, who dedicated her life to preparing children for the future. As an educator with over two decades of experience, I witnessed firsthand the disparity in resources available to young minds. Having navigated a low-income upbringing to beat the odds, I am driven by the desire to extend that opportunity to others, ensuring every child has the support they need to succeed.

Mentoring that truly connects

What sets us apart is our commitment to building genuine relationships. We start by connecting with students and their families, understanding their unique goals and aspirations. From there, we tailor a personalized program designed for their success, exploring real-world situations and fostering essential school, tech, and life skills. We don't just teach; we listen, we guide, and we shape futures, one child at a time.

A future full of possibilities

Our deepest hope is to empower students to pursue their true passions, whether that's finding the perfect trade school or excelling in a university program. We envision a future where every young person from our program is not only successful but also inspired to 'pass the torch' and become a positive influence in their community. We aim to create a lasting impact on their lives and contribute to a vibrant, opportunity-rich Charlotte.

“PATRICIAS Love Youth Development truly understands how to connect with young people. They've not only boosted my child's confidence but also helped them discover new passions for their future.”
