The Mission: To eradicate bullying amongst youth by educating them on the dangers of physical and verbal abuse, as well as the related consequences.

"Coding is all around us. It is hard to imagine a single career that doesn't have a need for someone who can code. Programming is not just the province of pale twenty-somethings in skinny jeans, hunched over three monitors, swigging Red Bull. Not anymore! The newest pint-sized coders have just begun elementary school." – Early Excellence Tech Zone. Our youth learn:

Volunteers
Join our volunteering programs and make a difference.
Our Youth youth need volunteers in various industries to introduce them to different professions. By introducing our youth to new ideas and career paths volunteers can provide opportunities that may take our youth off the streets by filling idle time. These opportunities can replace negative activity with productive activity possibly inspiring new positive and more healthy interests.
Schools
Early Excellence successfully addresses some common issues seen at most schools.
Issues including cliques, gossip, rumors, negative judgments, teasing, harassment, isolation, stereotypes, intolerance, racism, sexism, bullying, violence, homophobia, hopelessness, apathy, and hidden pressures to create an image, achieve or live up to the expectations of others.
Students
Early Excellence programs are designed to address the needs of all students.
Our programs are created to build connection and empathy, and to fulfill our vision that every child lives in a world where they feel safe, loved, and celebrated. Early Excellence is more than a one-day program. Our programs go beyond traditional programming; events.
Partnerships
We are constantly looking for and forging new partnerships.
The old adage that it takes a village is correct. We are always looking for new ways to bring our community leaders in business, academics, arts and more under our umbrella of youth inspiration. We believe working with the community directly impacts how our youth will see the world.
