The Love, Unity & Values (LUV) Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports young people, ages 11-24, who face challenges with college and career readiness. We set out to provide the foundational skills they need for successful navigation by using literacy, art, and well-being (LAW) as pathways to the workforce of tomorrow. 
​
Our mission is to provide hope, skills, and opportunity to at-risk and economically challenged young people to disrupt violence and other negative social behaviors while preparing them for academic success and sustainable employment. ​​
