World Changer
“Reach one, teach one”, if we are all “Spreading Our Wisdom”, 365 days out of the year, we will harvest a community who no longer has to “figure it out.”
V. Michel Mitchell is the founder and CEO of SOW365 (Spreading Our Wisdom), a non-profit organization whose mission is to plant S.E.E.D. (Support, Education, Enrichment, and DIrection) with the desired outcome of reaping good H.A.R.V.E.S.T.(Hope, Achievement, REspect of others/self, Values, Empowerment, Self-love, and Trust). SOW365 desires to be a positive resource for youth and young adults in the community. We provide workshops on conflict resolution, the banking system (checking and saving accounts, how to balance a checkbook, credit building and understanding credit scoring) and also provide health fairs on a variety of topics that are missing from the traditional public school’s teachings. So many Americans were never taught these life-skills that are needed to function in everyday living. It’s no wonder that our youths and even most adults have to “figure it our”; and, yet have become so consumed with debt and the inabilities to purchase essentials needed.
