Next Community Outreach In
The Prim & Prosper, Inc. organization has a big heart for developing young women. Volunteering with Prim & Prosper for their Ronald McDonald House outreach program is where I was really able to see their heart. The toys that were purchased were for the young girls enjoyment, but also to teach them how an entrepreneurial mindset starts – using what you have and turning it into something more!
Volunteering with Prim & Prosper at Life Home Project Foundation (LHPF) in Phucket, Thailand was such a eye-opening and meaningful experience! The visit to LHPF was well coordinated and I can’t wait to join the next community outreach!
Thank you to the Prim & Prosper, Inc. from Foundation Foyer Marie Orphanage. We are grateful that they were able to visit and give so much love and care to the children. The children were thrilled with the gifts and donations. They loved having the opportunity to play some soccer! Our doors are always open to you at any time and welcome to the Foyer Marie family!!!
Prim & Prosper, Inc. provided a great opportunity for me to volunteer at the Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries (DRMM). Volunteering with the organization was one of the highlights of my Thanksgiving holiday. It was a humbling experience to be able to meet new people and help support the community.
On behalf of the children and families served by Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana (RMGC-CNI), thank you Prim & Prosper, Inc. for your generous gift of toys including jewelry sets, accessories, barbie dolls, piggy banks, etc.Thank you for your investment and lending a helping hand!
It is evident that the women of Prim & Prosper aim to ensure each young woman’s happiness and success and I am so honored to say that I am a part of this network of women. I can honestly say that joining Prim & Prosper was one of the best things I could have done in
high school.
I also deeply appreciate the networking aspect of this program. Prim & Prosper has introduced me to so many strong and driven black women who all breathe success because they all have goals and have the intuition to achieve them. It is one thing to strive for success and good bearings, but it is another to surround yourself with successful people who also have similar goals on their agenda
Prim and Prosper inspired me to be a greater woman and to excel in life. My mentor goes above and beyond to listen, support, and push me to be successful. Prim and Prosper created a safe space for me to learn how to be a better young lady, confront some of the challenges I had while learning how to break generational curses through college-bound workshops.
The determination and strive I have is highly encouraged by my fellow Prim and Prosper mentors and peers. The amount of support and motivation made me want to grow even more as a young lady. My future has been made so much brighter being in this organization.
