Why not you centers

Building safe, inspiring spaces for youth across the country

The Why Not You Centers create safe, inspiring, and opportunity-driven spaces for young people in communities across the country. Each Center reflects Russell and Ciara’s belief that every child deserves access to mentorship, resources, and a place to unlock their full potential. Whether through academic support, creative programming, sports, or community engagement, our Centers give youth the confidence to ask ‘Why not me?’ and build the future they deserve
