mission
CONCRETE LYFE'S MISSION IS TO INVEST IN THE LIVELIHOODS OF PEOPLE FROM UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES, ENABLING THEM TO FLOURISH IN LIFE.
Name Breakdown
Concrete symbolizes the oppressive infrastructure of systems that makes it difficult for many people from underserved communities to truly flourish due to social injustice and the barriers these communities face.
​
LYFE symbolizes the livelihoods of the people whom we are trying to help grow from concrete.

Life is spelled with a "Y" so that people never forget their "WHY" in LYFE and can focus on the "WHY" behind their goals, dreams, mission, and purpose
