Building the Dream for Tomorrow's Youth

OUR VISION

was to build a 4,700 square foot facility equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, classrooms, meeting and recreation space for our Find-A-Friend Youth Program. It is our dream that the Youth Enrichment Center will uplift our youth and empower them to uplift their community.

Made Possible by a Community of Dreamers

our progress

In 2 years time, we raised 100% of our $700,000 goal to fully fund the construction of The Manning Family

Find-A-Friend Youth Enrichment Center. View our gallery to learn more about the Build the Dream Campaign and how our community helped us realize a dream.

Ribbon Cutting & Open House

What good is a building if it isn't being used? As of December 13th, 2018 the Manning Family Find-A-Friend Youth Enrichment Center is officially open! Located at 610 Whitfield St. Fayetteville, NC and with an open door policy, we'd love to show you all the ways you can make a difference in your community!

$750,000 in 2 years time

To completely fund a building is challenging enough, but to do it as a nonprofit in 2 years time is one of our proudest achievements. And we could not have done it alone, and to see so many members of our community share our dream is, if nothing else, an incredible, humbling blessing.
