Back in 2012, a group of barbers started giving back to their community, a simple effort to fill the most basic needs of families facing challenges in their community. Their goal - to give every child a fair shot to be confident, successful, and full of hope.

Since then, it has grown into a movement.

Three impactful community events a year, serving thousands of families facing challenges during some of the most difficult times of the year.
An innovative mentoring program set in a space of deep community - the barbershop.
And hundreds of volunteers and supporters signed on to help spread love to their neighbors in need.

Join the movement today. Donate to Visionary Youth this Giving Tuesday, December 2nd
