Our Story
G.R.O.W.N. was birthed between two non-profit organizations J.A.Y.A. Legacy and F.A.C.E. When both founders Ashley Arledge and Myeoshe’ Edwards met volunteering at Crenshaw High School, a connection was made and blossomed into a friendship and later on a partnership. They both realized they had similar curriculum targeting the youth in personal development, business ownership, and financial literacy. They joined efforts - combined curriculums along with some input from the youth themselves and birthed a new curriculum.
