Who We Are…
I AM YOU 360™ is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
I Am You 360 is an award-winning, forward-thinking, progressive, innovative, led by an African American woman is leading in diversity and inclusion Desiree Cook’s lived experience inspired her to revolutionize a movement called “I Am Somebody”.
The State of Arizona is home to 20,000 undersesrved youth. They are saying “I AM Somebody”.
They are not a barcode or a file in a cabinet. They must be unmuted. Their voices must be heard. They must be treated with dignity and the respect they deserve, to feel dignified and not be judged by their circumstance. Through self-awareness, self-development, and the development of life skills, this is possible. The “I Am Somebody” movement is holding the privileged community, City, and State accountable for encouraging investment now or paying the ultimate price later.
I Am You 360 chooses to pay NOW. “I Am You 360,” provides an array of holistic services and programs in the following ways: We believe in empowering the whole person by providing personalized and customized hygiene according to age, gender, and ethnicity, a 10-week self-development curriculum, life development, safe housing, and homeownership.
It is our desire, our passion to remove the band-aid and empower our most vulnerable youth. Sow them back into the fabric of our community by building their self-worth, self-esteem, and self-love. We can break the cycle and create generational change in the following ways: Personalization and Customization to fit the unique needs of those we serve.
Because “I Am You 360” believes in the empowerment of the whole person, we offer the “I Am You 360” homeownership program for homeless young adults ages 18-22, particularly those who have aged out of foster care.
