The Darren Group’s mission is to save and enhance the lives of inner-city youth throughout the United States – one person, one block, one neighborhood and one city at a time.
The nonprofit seeks o fulfill our mission by ending the epidemic of youth violence in the United States through the transformation of communication and educating society on this infectious disease by increasing the research, revenue and resources to find a cure. “As with most other diseases, we have to fight for a cure while diligently working to save those already infected and affected.”
