Truly Valued Inc

Empower Our Youth. Transform a Life.

Every child deserves the opportunity to discover their potential, build confidence, and create a brighter future. At Truly Valued, we empower youth with the tools, mentorship, and support they need to overcome challenges and become confident leaders in their schools, families, and communities.

Why Your Support Matters

Empowering Youth Through Proven Programs

Through our I AM Academy Mentoring Program, we served 314 students across 16 schools and one community center throughout Sarasota and Manatee Counties this past year.

The results speak for themselves:

• 75% (238 students) gained a stronger understanding of integrity, teamwork, and collaboration.
• 76% (240 students) learned to recognize their emotional triggers and develop healthy self-control strategies.
• 91% (286 students) demonstrated positive behavior changes, including taking responsibility without being asked and showing greater respect toward teachers and peers.

Building Stronger Communities

We believe lasting change happens through collaboration. By partnering with 16 schools, one community center, law enforcement agencies, and the Department of Juvenile Justice, Truly Valued is creating safer communities and expanding opportunities for youth who need them most.

Changing Lives Through Mentorship

Behind every statistic is a young person whose life has been transformed.

Students like Quynh entered our program quiet and unsure of themselves. Through consistent mentoring, encouragement, and leadership opportunities, Quynh developed the confidence to pursue her goals, serve others, and become a positive leader in her community.

Stories like hers remind us that every investment in a child creates ripple effects that last a lifetime.

• Expand mentoring programs to additional schools and community sites.
