Building Brighter Futures: Academic & Athletic Opportunities for Disadvantaged Youth

The Morlon Greenwood Foundation, founded by former NFL player Morlon Greenwood in 2015, provides programming for students residing in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods. This programming is designed to be creative, community-based, and of high quality, and focuses on academic, athletic, and intellectual skills for those children in the community that take part. This model is developed by partnering with elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as other similarly designed community organizations, throughout these disadvantaged communities in order to meet the unique needs of these students both inside and outside of the program.

A Future Built on Mentorship and Growth

At the Morlon Greenwood Foundation, we are not just preparing young people for today—we’re preparing them for tomorrow. Our goal is to make a lasting impact on their lives so that they can help make the future better for themselves, their peers, and the next generation to come.

The Foundation of Success

At the Morlon Greenwood Foundation, our mission is simple yet powerful: to raise up youth to become successful, socially responsible citizens through mentorship, empowerment, and guidance. We believe every young person has the potential to achieve greatness—and we are here to help them realize that potential.

Our core values are captured in our RAISE UP acronym, which forms the foundation of everything we do. It represents the steps we take to help youth not just succeed, but to grow into confident, ethical, and independent individuals who can, in turn, uplift others.
