Volunteering and Community Engagement

Building up the community happens when there is collaboration and engagement among its community members. Our approach extends beyond the community to help ensure that the community have the necessary support and resources to be sustainable.

Girl Scout Troop 10465 was founded in January 2023 by Dr. Octavia Cordon and Dr. Shanequa Smith to support girls and families in Charleston. Now based at the North Charleston Recreation Center, the troop has grown to over 20 members and continues to empower girls through leadership, community service, and enrichment opportunities.

About Us

ASPIRE is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) dedicated to empowering students and young adults with the resources, tools, and training they need to make healthy decisions and succeed in life. We believe sustained success requires vision, commitment, resilience, and a strong support network.

Today’s youth are tomorrow’s workforce. Many are motivated and capable — they simply need access to opportunities. By investing in them, we help shape valuable community members and future leaders. Together, we can guide and encourage them to become their best.
