Grim Youth Foundation

One heart healed, one hand equipped, one step at a time.

We are a community-rooted foundation dedicated to restoring dignity, belonging, and opportunity to underserved and disadvantaged youth. Through radical compassion and creative connection, we walk with those often left in the margins, not to fix them, but to fight for them. Our mission is to transform survival into stability, and isolation into empowerment.

At G.R.I.M., we believe healing isn’t linear, it’s layered. 

That’s why our programs are shaped by three pillars:

Heart Work: spaces for healing, storytelling, and expression

Hand Work: equipping youth with tangible tools and support 

Foot Work: showing up consistently in schools, on the streets, and in service. We don’t just provide services. We build trust, spark hope, and walk beside youth as they rise.
