Empowering Local Youth

Mission Statement

 

At Phoenix Youth Foundation of New Jersey, our mission is to uplift and empower youth—particularly those with special needs and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds—by expanding access, championing advocacy, and creating meaningful opportunities.

Established in 2020 by Brenda Ramirez, Angela Purpura, and Cyrus Ferguson, Phoenix is a proud 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to fostering growth through scholarships, community engagement, and inclusive programming. We believe that every child, regardless of circumstance, deserves the opportunity to thrive.

Through strategic partnerships and grassroots outreach, we deliver:

  • 🎓 Targeted scholarships for children with special needs, enabling access to enrichment programs, educational resources, and therapeutic support
  • 🎓 Academic and creative scholarships for economically disadvantaged youth, promoting educational advancement, artistic exploration, and leadership development
  • 🤝 Community service initiatives powered by volunteers, cultivating civic responsibility, empathy, and connection
  • 🌱 Holistic youth programs designed to build resilience, nurture creativity, and strengthen self-worth among under-served populations

Phoenix Youth Foundation is more than a charitable organization—we are a launchpad for potential. We are dedicated to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to rise, grow, and soar.
