About Inspiring Together Inspiring Together Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization in the state of Georgia that was founded in 2018 to provide extra-curricular opportunities for young people placed in foster care or from low-income families. Our goal is to give these disadvantaged youth, important enrichment activities, that because of family or financial circumstances, they otherwise could not take part in. We also want to provide them with a sense of community and belonging, since young people in these situations often do not have the family support that so many of us are blessed with. Instagram |
