About Us
We at CODELS want our youth to flourish by having the skills to succeed. Life-skills such as sewing, woodworking, crafting, nutrition, and wellness are at the
top of our core competencies.
Our core competencies are supported through volunteers, fundraising, donations, and merchandise sales. We also believe that children deserve the tools and materials needed to succeed in the classroom. We value our teachers and will provide financial support to local educators in need through our organization.
Our Mission
Children Organized to Develop Essential Life Skills (CODELS) strives to teach youth that they have control of their life’s path, by offering vocational skills that can lead to better job opportunities and entrepreneurial opportunities, and to give youth hope, motivation, communication skills, teamwork skills and the ability to tackle or face real-life situations.
Our Vision
To strengthen children's ability to successfully maneuver daily life experiences and to stimulate ideas of creativity.
To show children consequences of choices and give them hope that they have the power to manifest positive outcomes for their future.

Who We Are
I am a witness to how many children start out with a clean slates, but get diverted to a substandard life due to lack of access, lack of positivity, neglect and bad parenting. I am motivated to save as many disadvantaged children as possible, by infusing hope, and opportunity into every child I meet.
We offer youth support and a clear, positive look into what they can achieve, and a plan for a better life path for disadvantaged youth.
I want people to know that able bodied adults of all nationalities must come together to ensure a society where all children can thrive and grow up to be contributing adults.
