Our Mission to our Youth

C84 Elite University is a dedicated advocate for growth and empowerment among inner-city youth, regardless of gender. Our mission is to elevate the standard of youthful enrichment by providing healthy outlets for self-expression, educational guidance, and positive self-representation. Our vision is to create a future where the voices of young people in the Fort Worth Independent School District are heard and valued. The C84 Elite University strives to empower the next generation of leaders by nurturing their individuality and supporting their aspirations. Our approach involves providing guidance, support, and mentorship to our community, including family, friends, mentors, business leaders, and other role models.

Our programs are designed to equip young people with the skills and knowledge they need to pursue their dreams, whether that be through entrepreneurship, creative expression, or other forms of self-discovery. We believe in setting goals without limits, helping young people to develop a five-year plan that breaks down their aspirations into manageable steps. We also provide opportunities for business trips and exposure to successful entrepreneurs, as well as etiquette courses, financial literacy training, and guidance on personal branding and reputation management.

At the core of our approach is a commitment to fostering leadership skills among young people. We believe that young people are capable of taking charge and making a difference in their communities, and we provide them with the tools they need to lead by example. This includes classroom leadership days, speech and communication training, and opportunities to showcase their talents in various creative fields. Through the work of C84 Elite University, we are committed to building a future where every young person in our community has the opportunity to thrive and achieve their full potential.
