Message From Our Director
We Got You Covered (WGYC) is a not-for-profit organization that was developed out of sheer desperation to save lives. 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.
Based on my experiences within the Chicago Public Schools and as a member of the Chicago Police Department I am of the same opinion of Frederick Douglas when he said, "It is easier to build strong African American boys than to repair broken men." And as Carol Day informs us, "For where there is no faith in your future success, there is no real effort to prepare you for it.”
