OUR FLAGSHIP PROGRAM

OUR HISTORY

A Greater Good Foundation (AGGF) was founded in June 2016 by four young men from Chicago who, after facing personal and environmental challenges, realized that opportunities for growth and development were limited in their communities.

While in college, the founders were introduced to personal development concepts, like social-emotional learning, through a network marketing venture. Excited by the positive impact it had on their own lives, they shared this knowledge with their peers. As a result, they saw their friends grow—challenging their belief systems, setting new goals, improving their habits, and forming meaningful connections. Although the business venture didn’t last, the commitment to personal growth stayed strong.

Inspired by the transformation they witnessed, the founders made a promise to bring these valuable lessons and resources back to their communities, determined to create lasting change where it was needed most.

TODAY

We are still Mentoring Youth, Building Community, and Modeling Wellness! With our mentees, we practice and model what it means to live in a healthy community—with ourselves and with others. We encourage them to love themselves, set boundaries, and explore new possibilities. We believe that how we treat others is often a reflection of how we treat ourselves. That’s why, to strengthen the communities we serve, our vision starts with helping each person cultivate the love they have for themselves.
