Dwayne Aikens, a visionary community leader, founded WELO on the principles of empathy, empowerment, and sustainable change. Aikens, drawing from his own experiences, recognized the transformative potential of community engagement. Growing up in a neighborhood facing various challenges, he saw firsthand the power of collective action and the positive ripple effects it could create.
WELO, an acronym for “We Empower, Lift, and Overcome,” began as a grassroots initiative with a mission to break the cycle of generational challenges. Aikens’ journey from a concerned community member to the founder of WELO is a testament to the belief that one person can ignite change. Today, WELO stands as a beacon of hope, embodying the spirit of unity and resilience.
Our vision is to help disadvantaged youth realize their full potential and live up to their abilities. Through positive team-building, educational and service oriented enrichment activities we empower youth to take an active role in determining their future. To ensure long-term transformation and success we have expanded our mentoring services by launching Mentoring on the Fly. This program allows kids ages 8 through LIFE mentoring until they can pay it forward. It is highlighted by We the Scenario Career Exploration Podcast Channel. This Podcast highlighted all the positive things that is needed to make the kids feel loved, safe and special. People always knew when there was something good coming from the organization. We truly make sure that no child is left behind.
This organization was started by 3 young men that truly wanted to see their community flourish. So they decided to do something about what they felt needed to be dealt with. Dwayne Aikens Jr., Trestin George, and Lamont Robinson created WELO in 2010 as an avenue to engage youth through sports education, service learning, and civic involvement. While focusing on youth is our priority, we also believe in the importance of building a strong foundation. To help foster those efforts, we work closely with parents, teachers, and other community organizations to support youth development and assist in strengthening our communities.
