We Are United in Our Dedication to reach the inner-city youth.
Who We Are
F.A.M.E.2 Foundation is a initiative of Entertainment Concierges to inspire the youth.
Each letter in F.A.M.E.2 has a double meaning, Film/Fashion, Arts/Audio, Music/Media, and Entertainment/Education. F.A.M.E.2 Foundation, F2F is a one stop shop non-profit organization that focuses on the overall development and success of the intercity youth, by teaching them an array of things ranging from the fundamentals of education to starting and operating their own business, to physical health and the performing arts, and the importance of language and culture diversity. F.A.M.E2 Along with investing a significant level of time and energy, we hope to make a lasting impression on the local community. F2F realizes that for a person to be a true success they must be well rounded in their experiences as well as education.
We are seeking to partner with businesses in the metropolitan area, to increase community involvement, and present businesses with the opportunity to meet the leaders of tomorrow. Our initial goal is to have the youth engage in extracurricular activities that interest participants, while encouraging them to exceed academically and increase school attendance. This will be accomplished by utilizing an “indirect” approach to encourage participation by the school attendance. Initially, we will connect with the “at-risk” youth through arts and entertainment. Allowing them to enter the after school “Rise to FAME Project,” regardless of their current academic standing or current number of absences. Through their affiliation with F2F they will be required to attend classes on a regular basis and maintain an acceptable grade point average. This will maximize our participants’ working knowledge of balancing extracurricular activities, that they enjoy with instilling an importance of acquiring a high school education. We are anticipating that many of our students will be eager to join the program and embark on the activities that we slated. In order for our members to be a role model to their peers they must be mentally, physically, culturally, and academically fit. This will be the responsibility of The F.A.M.E.2 Foundation to equip the youths with these necessary tools.

— Our Vision
We plan to service Atlanta’s community by teaching and training youth to prepare themselves for a more productive future. With the guidance of our staff and instructors many adolescents will learn the value of education and good work ethics. Over the years, it has been a difficult task to motivate inner-city youth to attend college; but through our program will give those students a different view on academics and teach them to apply their acquired knowledge to everyday work situations. Thus, sparking the desire for them to obtain their higher school diploma and encourage to pursue a college degree. We will also provide scholarships for all of our participants.
