Our Mission:
Don't Wait, Create.
Go For Yours is helping to eliminate the opportunity gap in communities. We provide young people (ages 13-21) with the financial assistance, guidance, and resources to create opportunities for success.
The Shade Room is excited to partner with the Go For Yours Foundation to support the generation of leaders. Their sponsorship will assist in bringing young leaders to the Go For Yours Dream Experience in Los Angeles, California, June 21, 2019.
From Book to Movement
Go for Yours, features a collection of stories about young people who overcame obstacles to follow their dreams and achieve their goals. Readers are introduced to stories like Jerome Boykin, who at the age of 23 started a million-dollar parking lot cleaning business after losing everything in Hurricane Katrina.
Erika's dream and vision of creating Go for Yours led her from living in her grandmother’s basement in Chicago, Illinois to thriving and living her best life in Los Angeles, California.
Her leap of faith has inspired many young people to create opportunities that will lead to living a life well beyond their imagination.
