Founded in 2020, PGYMDC.ORG was born from lived experience.
Our CEO and Founder, having grown up in foster care and later adopted, turned personal adversity into purpose. His journey became the driving force behind the creation of PGYMDC—a space built to uplift, support, and empower youth facing similar challenges.
Through storytelling, mentorship, and community-based programs, he transformed his past into a platform for change. PGYMDC is more than an organization—it’s a movement rooted in resilience, hope, and the belief that your beginnings do not define your future. His dedication serves as a beacon for those navigating hardship, proving that healing can fuel impact—and that purpose can rise from pain.
EMPositiveU is a dynamic youth mentoring and development initiative designed to inspire growth, resilience, and leadership in today’s youth.

Our holistic approach nurtures not only academic success but also emotional intelligence and social well-being. Through the guidance of dedicated mentors and a supportive environment, EMPositiveU empowers each participant to rise above obstacles, realize their potential, and become a positive force in their communities. At EMPositiveU, we believe in building the future—one youth, one breakthrough, one positive gain at a time.
