On Purpose! Our purpose is to help our children cultivate greatness in their adolesence now that will ensure their success as adults!
AWARENESS
HOF Community Impact
Since inception, we have focused our attention on developing our youth from the inside - out. HOF Impact facilitates open discussion and conversation with young men and women who have something say, who often feels like no one hears them, and simply want to feel like they have a purpose in the world!
We can't do this without believers, supporters, and ambassadors like you! Thank you for bringing your energy to our ever-growing, evolving organization!
LEADERSHIP
It Takes A Village
"I can not emphasize enough how critically important our kids are to the absolute nature of our communities and the world around us on a global scale! If we do not take the time to be intentional about reshaping them, molding them, cultivating their spirits, and establishing the path for them to be the greatest versions of themselves, we will fail them. Failing our children equates to failing our world and the sheer opportunity to create a better world for us all and future generations to come! My daily driving force is to ensure HOF COMMUNITY IMPACT reaches, teaches, heals, and empowers one child at a time, one day at a time! I have incredibly deeply rooted hope to do remarkable things for Newton and Rockdale Counties!" --Carlos Bingham, Founder
On A Mission
"I have 5 amazing kids of my own! Throughout my life, my heart and spirit has been rooted in creating a safe space for our youth to be enriched, led properly, educated, and developed on a grand scale. If there's any sizeable or measurable progress or change we will make in the world - it will undoubtedly start with the youth. Not just my children, but the entirety of the village of children and teens all around us. I am on a mission to transform Rockdale and Newton Counties starting with one child at a time!" --Kelbie Milon, Co-Founder

WHY WE EXIST
THE FUTURE DOESN'T EXIST WITHOUT OUR YOUTH
As the world changes massively on a daily basis due to Pandemics, cultures, environments, and surroundings: Youth mental, physical, and psychological well being has never been in a more critical state. Our children as early as 7 years old are contemplating suicide and experiencing depression at alarming rates. Our children are becoming more and more out of shape, obese, and overweight, and losing themselves as a result. WE EXIST TO IMPACT THEIR LIVES in a way that stays with them forever, not just for the present moment!
YOUNG BOYS & YOUNG MEN: They Need Us
In today's every changing world, our African American boys and young men are exposed to an upsetting myriad of social ideologies, violent environments, emotional repression mindsets, and environments lacking the enrichment and development they need. Mentorship, coaching, counseling, and therapy within the African American community is already at alarmingly low presence and the overall mindset that "you're weak if you get help: towards seeking therapy does not help any!
Our African American boys and young men are growing into a mental and spiritual state driven by social media and "antiquated" parenting from the "old school" that only does them harm and reduces their inherent ability to open up, speak up, and openly discuss what's on their hearts and minds.
As a result, we are now dealing with boys and young men suffering identity crisis, depression, repressed anger, high anxiety, uncheck frustration and anger, and many other psychological warfare conditions that truly just shouldn't exist as prevalently as they do.
HOFCIC seeks to provide the environment, safe space, and resources for our young men and boys to emotionally thrive, feel okay to talk, and get the community support and mentorship they need through the several leaders and mentors in place within HOFCIC and HOFCIC's reach!
When our young men attend our workshops and events, they will leave feeling renewed, empowered, and owning their true power from within! Over time and with consistent attendance and involvement, they'll grow to feel valued, honored, and having an incredible sense of purpose - walking with their backs straighter and their heads up higher!
HOFCIC will transform in the following areas:
- Confidence and self esteem
- Self worth and VALUE
- Respect for self and others
- Community duties and obligations
- Leadership
- Nutrition, diet, and lifestyle eating habits
- Fitness and physical well being
- Mental well being and meditation
- Home life and parental acknowledgement
- Academics, homework, and achieving high
- Job and career readiness
Please be sure to get your young man involved, engaged, and enrolled in any of our upcoming events. Reach out Carlos or Kelbie at 678-320-8696 or email us at hofcommunityimpact@gmail.com.
