Stand On Excellence
Where youth are seen, supported, and launched into excellence
Who we are
Stand on Excellence is a youth-centered nonprofit organization committed to empowering the next generation with the tools, confidence, and support they need to thrive.
We serve youth and young adults by providing life skills education, mentorship, leadership development, and community-based opportunities that prepare them for real life — not just graduation.
We believe excellence is not about perfection.
It is about growth.
It is about accountability.
It is about rising above circumstances and choosing purpose.
At Stand on Excellence, we create safe spaces where young people feel seen, heard, and valued. Through workshops, affirmations, job readiness programs, and mentorship initiatives, we equip youth with practical skills in financial literacy, decision-making, emotional wellness, goal-setting, and personal development.
Our work is rooted in community collaboration. We partner with schools, families, local leaders, and organizations to build a stronger future — one young person at a time.
We are not just building programs.
We are building leaders.
We are building resilience.
We are building excellence.
Our Mission
Stand on Excellence exists to empower youth and young adults with the life skills, mentorship, and leadership development necessary to build confident, responsible, and purpose-driven lives.
Through education, community partnerships, and youth-centered programming, we equip the next generation with practical tools in personal growth, decision-making, financial literacy, and emotional wellness — creating pathways to long-term success.
Our Vision
Our vision is to see a generation of young leaders who rise above their circumstances, walk confidently in their purpose, and positively impact their families, schools, and communities.
We envision communities where every young person has access to guidance, opportunity, and the support needed to thrive — not just survive.
