CROWN FOUNDATION

In 2013, The Crown Foundation, Inc was an initiative dreamed up by the brothers of Exodus Lodge No. 593 Prince Hall Jurisdiction of Georgia in hopes of establishing a community center to empower youth. However, as the process began, the focus shifted to becoming a mentoring program spearheaded by Mr. Hassan Hagood. The program centers on mentoring at risk pre-adolescent boys as well as providing resources and life skills for their parents. Mr. Hagood believes, "It is the duty of African American men who have attained some degree of success to reach out to help young black males, especially those who need us most-those who have been disenfranchised, to build strong character and realize their full potential as responsible citizens and leaders."
