Message from our Principal

Willie Hampton

With over two decades of experience in community service and educational advocacy, I founded 2 BE 1 OUTREACH INC to bridge the gap between potential and opportunity. My journey has been defined by the belief that every child, regardless of their background, deserves the tools to succeed.

In Augusta, we see firsthand the challenges families face. Our mission is to ensure that financial hardship never stands in the way of a child's education. We are more than a charity; we are a community dedicated to the next generation.

Our Strategic Framework

1. Social Problem & Community Need

In Augusta, GA, a significant percentage of children live in households below the poverty line, leading to high dropout rates and limited access to quality educational resources. Local data shows that 1 in 4 children lacks the necessary supplies and financial support to complete their primary education effectively.

2. Core Mission

To empower underprivileged children by removing financial and resource-based barriers to education, ensuring every child has the opportunity to learn and thrive.

3. Long-term Vision (5-10 Years)

We envision a community where 100% of children have access to full educational support, leading to a 50% reduction in local youth unemployment and a significant increase in college enrollment within a decade.

4. SMART Goals (1-3 Years)

  • Provide tuition assistance to 500 local students by Year 2.
  • Distribute 2,000 comprehensive school supply kits annually.
  • Establish 3 community learning centers in high-need areas by Year 3.
