For our team members - youth mentorship is a lifestyle š
-
Our Brand Ambassador and Youth/Reentry Mentor Dominick Pallano is pursuing his vision to be a barbershop owner and is currently accomplishing his barber-shop license @westchesterbarberacademy - mentoring and educating youth along the way.
-
Special s/o to Dom for returning home after 13 years incarcerated to give back to the youth and build his community.
-
Part of the #914united mission is to highlight the positive stories of the formerly incarcerated individuals leading their communities because returning home from prison does not always lead to recidivism - and we must show the public what that looks like in real time.
-
Dom is our shining example šŖš¼

Our organization is glad to have genuine team members serving on the frontlines of the much needed youth and Reentry mentorship in the Westchester community. Our Real Onez on the Frontlines are making rounds - expanding beyond @yonkers and currently present in the @ysow4youth to mentor the incarcerated youth on manhood training.

We are Active - ten toes down on the missionšŖš¼
Started from the bottom and now weāre here š
914UNITED Inc. began with a two-man team and now has 13 members advancing the mentorship mission specific to the youth and the formerly incarcerated - and we continue to grow.
-
Last week a few of the 914UNITED program facilitators and mentors convened to re-group and strategize the plan of action moving forward. It was amazing to assemble in-person after a long year of virtual meetings and have the team in the same physical space. Each person brings a different strength, talent, and asset to the movement. Tenacity, discernment, creativity, passion, ambition, courage are just a few.
914UNITED Inc. is grateful for the leadership, guidance and support the team brings.
-
914UNITED Inc. is grateful for our coaches, facilitators, mentors, resources, systems and tools that we are provided with.
914UNITED Inc. is grateful for the knowledge, responsiveness and professionalism and community value each of our members have as Cultural Brokers & Credible Messengers. They are all AMAZING!
S/o to our Co-founder, @j.o.envisioned & Director who led this meeting!

One of the most important quality in leading a team is communication. If you donāt effectively communicate, things will crumble, operations are compromised. Last week we made sure we wouldnāt crumble or falter, but rather continue to hustle hard and stay the courseš„

We are proud to announce that the Youth Shelter Program of Westchester - an alternative to incarceration for youth located in Mt Vernon, NY - is partnering with 914UNITED to bring our āReal Ones on the Frontline Initiativeā into their facility.
The āReal Onesā is a team of Credible Messengers working to empower and educate the youth in the community. With this partnership, 914UNITED will be facilitating Manhood Training which aims to make the incarcerated youth rethink their definition of manhood as they undergone their passage to adulthood in at-risk environments.
Our goal is to provide the youth with the proper mentorship as they transition from incarceration to freedom. Our team is working to change the re-entry efforts in the Lower Hudson Valley region by assigning credible messengers to the juvenile justice system so they can serve as resource centers for those returning home.
S/O to @bcappuccino, @_therealkeem, @smart_time_savage , @find_1_likeme , @j.o._envisioned
A special shout out to the Executive Director, Joanne Dunn for seeing the potential and the value of our team to help build our youthā¦ and giving us the platform. Itās time to work!

On May 2nd, we hosted a food donation on Elm and Oak Street.
914United stands behind our motto that āChange agents change narrativesā.
This donation was spearheaded by both Dom and Euro (@smart_time_savage & @find_1_likeme), two formerly incarcerated community members who took lead and brought this idea to 914United to show that in every bad community there are good people. Salute! šŖš½
-
And thank you to our special volunteers who donated their time. Yāall always show up when needed! Thank you.

We remain involved and active in raising awareness. Our goal is always to share knowledge. Because knowledge is power!
A Conversation on Autism & Policing will be facilitated by our team - with the leadership of @tapflos - whoās on frontline advocating for families impacted by autism.
-
This seminar will be an ongoing conversation between @tapflos and the Yonkers Police Department to strategize on how to improve the relationship between individuals on the spectrum and law enforcers. Itās vital to support Tapflos and itās mission to advocate for issues concerning autism because their mission is a very crucial one.
-
Our organization jumped on board to support because we believe it takes a village to build the village - and we advocate for those in need and those ignored.
