Walk In My Shoes 1st, Inc. is a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering youth, strengthening families, and creating opportunities for hope, healing, and success. We believe every individual has a story, and before judging someone’s journey, we encourage others to walk in their shoes first.
Founded by Frederica Butler, our organization was created from personal life experiences and a passion for making a lasting difference in the community. Our mission is to provide youth and families with educational resources, mentorship, self-care programs, life skills training, food assistance, school supplies, community outreach, and positive support that inspires confidence and resilience.
Through workshops, outreach events, volunteer opportunities, and partnerships with local businesses and organizations, we strive to create safe spaces where young people can learn, grow, and reach their full potential. We believe that every step matters, and small acts of kindness can change lives forever.
Our vision is to build stronger communities by encouraging compassion, leadership, education, and personal growth while reminding every person that they are seen, valued, and never alone.
Whether you’re looking to volunteer, become a sponsor, donate, or simply support our mission, we invite you to join us in making a difference one family, one child, and one step at a time.
