Description:
Our mission and goal is the betterment of the children in our community. We strive to accomplish this by providing services that promote healthy family values, improving, and continuing the community’s young adult’s education.
Phoinix Foundation for Gamers is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to providing services that promote healthy family values, improving, and continuing the community’s young adult’s education. Two gamers that know the value of education and the consequences of the lack thereof created Phoinix Foundation for Gamers. David and Larry (also known by their gamer tags as PhNx YUFFIE and PhNx Neon Mech) found that there were a large number of kids, “falling through the cracks so to speak”, and decided that they had to do something about it. They could not stand idly by as these kids failed to get the chances they deserve. Phoinix Foundation was organized as a way to help kids in education, and as an out- reach to every gamer and the community.
We in Phoinix Foundation are dedicated to making sure all our members get the best help we can offer. We understand the importance of completing school (attaining their diploma or GED) and continuing their education. Phoinix Foundation is organized into departments that will handle our various programs, like our Education Department, where we will assist young adults to finish high school and attain their Diploma or GED. In addition, for those that wish to continue their education, we will assist them in navigating the seemingly complex road to get into college.
Our Outreach Department is comprised of caring individuals that are proud to donate their time to helping kids and young adults. We also realize that kids and young adults are under enormous amounts of stress in these trying times; therefore, we are there for them when they feel like no one else will listen.
