Motivated4Greater is a 501(c)3 nonprofit youth organization that provides enrichment and extracurricular experiences for youth in our community. We believe all students should have an opportunity to develop their interests and talents, regardless of socioeconomic status or geographic location. Based in an area where the crime rates are 159% higher than the national average and the poverty rate is approximately 34%,  we are committed to sustaining our offerings of completely free camps, sports clinics, youth conferences, field trips and other extracurricular activities as well as mentorship and support in the area of social emotional learning.

Our organization has been active for over ten years and has run highly successful programs at two schools in Scotland County (Laurinburg, NC)-The Blue Blazers (Carver Middle School) and The Young Women of Excellence (Shaw Alternative Academy). We have been awarded grants totaling $30,000 to support our efforts in recent years- positively impacting over 300 pre-adolescents.
