Children Are Our Future Initiative
The Back-to-School Success Initiative is a faith-based community giveback event dedicated to helping children begin the new school year with confidence, encouragement, and the resources they need to succeed.
Volunteer barbers, hairstylists, community partners, and supporters come together to provide FREE haircuts, hairstyles, school supplies (while supplies last), community resources, and encouragement for children ages 5–15 throughout the Orlando community.
Our mission is simple:
Serve today. Empower tomorrow.
