Visionary Youth Builds Confidence Back to School | Lincoln News

Visionary Youth is turning back-to-school into a game-changer for kids who need it most—handing out backpacks, socks, underwear, and shoe vouchers while also offering haircuts and counseling to boost confidence. Started in 2013 as a holiday aid effort, this nonprofit has grown into a full-scale movement led by founders KB Mensah and Dr. Lawrence Chatters, who know that feeling prepared means feeling seen. This year’s event at the College of Hair Design and Malone Community Center didn’t just give supplies—it gave dignity, with kids beaming and parents relieved. Volunteers like Tom Schroeder are inspired by the mission, and the organization’s mobile van ensures support continues year-round, proving that real change happens when you show up—not just once, but every day.
