About
The Morris Youth Foundation began with a simple idea and mission: To create an everlasting bond between our disabled friends and our abled friends. This bond will go beyond the limitations of one’s disability and see them for who they truly are: human beings.

Greetings from the Founder!
As an emerging organization, our vision is to offer support and services to people with and without disabilities. It is the mission of The Morris Youth Foundation to remove barriers that have hindered individuals for far too long from being able to break free from the system that in the long run is not fair nor sustainable.
We must recognize that the world around us is changing, and we must change with it. With over two decades of leadership experience under my belt, I would like to see future generations step into their purpose and soar into their new lives with a renewed faith in themselves and confidence in those around them.
Our goal at MYF is to bring together people from all walks of life to form a coalition that will help prepare both women and men for the future with the best training and support services available. There is no better time than now; the world is waiting for leaders like you to take the initiative. Tell me, how do you plan to take charge of your destiny? Please allow me to invite you to consider how The Morris Youth Foundation can serve you on your path to success.

Founder, President/CEO
