Our Cause

WGYC hopes to alleviate the learning gap that circumvents a child’s development and progress. Our staff will serve as a liaison to CPS teachers with the hope of developing a partnership that serves as a conduit for “at-risk youth.” WGYC will develop a curriculum that is unmolested by bureaucracy in order to reach underserved and disenfranchised youth. This ethically enriched curriculum will encourage empathy for the student and provide a curriculum that disseminates palpable information over statistical-based instruction.

Who We Are

We Got You Covered (WGYC) is a not-for-profit organization that was developed out of sheer desperation to save lives. "W.G.Y.C. believes that there is a need to take a developmental approach to literacy instruction. That means that we meet kids where they are and prepare them to move forward."

Our Cause

To eradicate illiteracy among African American boys.

Our Vision

Our purpose is to resuscitate literacy achievement among inner-city African American boys who reside in socio-economically deprived areas that are crime and drug infested.

Our Mission

Our staff will serve as a liaison to CPS teachers with the hope of developing a partnership that serves as a conduit for “at-risk youth.”

Our Involvement

We are here to serve African American young boys ages K-12 who reside in Urban Areas

Programs That Can't Wait

Uniform Drive

WGYC is fully aware that in order to educate a child you must first educate the WHOLE child. Children need to feel good about themselves and that begins with their personal hygiene and having appropriate clothing to wear to school. Having a uniform that is clean and fits properly builds positive self-esteem in young African American boys. WGYC's goal is to refit all of the youth at Urban Prep Academy with new uniforms.

Shoe Drive

Too often we take for granted that children have the basic necessities that they need like appropriate shelter, food, clothing and shoes, however this couldn’t be further from the truth. WGYC is trying to build the WHOLE child. What we know to be true is if children feel good about themselves and their appearance this aids with their development of self-esteem, self-awareness and self-respect. Please help OUR boys!

I Read, You Read, We Read

Current data illustrates that African American boys’ literacy rate is at a dismal 14% and that these youth scored the lowest in literacy of any demographics who took standardized tests. My research noted countless impediments to these youths’ success in literacy. Let's change that and help these boys become strong literate young adult men! Please help OUR boys!

Additonal Help

When we say "programs that 'CAN'T WAIT' it's not an exaggeration BUT it is to stress the urgency and critical need for immediate action because there is limited time left for our black boys who are enduring lives of mediocrity. The urgency lies in the fact that every moment spent without effective intervention perpetuates cycles of inequality, limiting their opportunities and potential for a better future.
