CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| During my freshman year in college, my best friend and business partner's untimely death due to gun violence was an enormous obstacle for me to get through several years ago. The idea that one person could make a difference inspired me to do something great. Several years later the birth of the concept of the Education Equal Opportunity Group (EEOG) was born. The premise was simple, "You cannot be, what you cannot see"; therefore, the EEOG centers its programs on providing students with direct access to top successful industry experts from humble beginnings, who actively share their strategies and success guides toward the roadmaps out of poverty and having meaningful lives. Youth.gov states that "Youth violence is a significant problem that affects thousands of young people each day, and in turn, their families, schools, and communities. Youth violence and crime affect a community's economic health, as well as individuals' physical and mental health and well-being. Homicide is the third leading cause of death for youth in the United States. In 2016, more than 530,000 young people ages 10-24 were treated in emergency departments for injuries sustained from violence." |
