Founded in 2007, the Fight For Life Foundation helps underserved youth develop the social and emotional qualities needed for success. Since that time it has grown from the vision of founder Marlin Jackson into an independent 501(c)3 organization delivering services to vulnerable youth by providing social-emotional learning programs to more than 12,741 underserved youth.
Our mission at Fight For Life Foundation (FFLF) is to help deserving but underserved youth develop the social and emotional qualities needed to be successful.
These qualities include self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. FFLF programs use education, athletics, and wellness activities as the foundation for positive youth development.
We must always remain humble in the face of success and adversity. We must stay balanced in order to remain focused on our goal of directing children’s lives down the right path.
We must strive to be creative in our thoughts and approach towards creating ways to help those less fortunate.
We must always be able to step outside of ourselves and look inside in order to see how others may view the world around us. We need to always remain open to understand and consider the view of others.
We must feel with our hearts and souls the passion that lies within us to help those less fortunate. We must be able to absorb and understand the circumstances that exist for those we are trying to help.
