Invest In Our Youth
Founded in 2021 by Christian Flanigan, Invest In Our Youth is a community-focused organization committed to uplifting young people through mentorship, education, and sports. We believe that when youth are given the right support and opportunities, they can achieve anything.
Our programs are designed to help youth build confidence, gain essential life skills, and prepare for success—both personally and professionally. Whether it’s through structured mentoring, academic support, or athletic development, we create positive spaces where young people can grow, thrive, and lead.
Join us in shaping the next generation of leaders. Because when we invest in them, we all win.
About the Young Achievers Mentoring Program
The Young Achievers Mentoring Program is a new initiative created by Invest In Our Youth that began in 2022. The program is a school-based group mentoring program designed to help young men become confident, be a leader, and learn the true meaning of brotherhood.
Christian Flanigan founded the Young Achievers Mentoring Program in an effort to provide support and encouragement to school-aged youth. Mentors are volunteers from the community who have dedicated themselves to making a difference in the life of a young person. Mentors support the strengths of the youth and help build a sense of purpose, brotherhood, and vision. The youth in the program are called Young Achievers.
Our Mission
To inspire youth to reach their full potential and take the skills they learn to be leaders in their community.
Our Vision
To groom young men into becoming the best version of themselves and build confidence through training, team building, community services, and activities.
