OUR MISSION:Our mission is to build children into productive citizens through guidance, exposure and engaging academic activities which promote strength of character and graduation from post-secondary institutions.OUR PROGRAM:Motivating Youth Foundation, Inc is an after school & summer camp program that was designed to improve their academic performance. We want to accomplish this through one-on-one and group tutoring, hands-on computer skills, and homework assistance. Our main focus is our attention on math & reading daily, we believed in our students/youth that we would see immediate results in students’, and we were right.We want to stimulate & challenge children intellectually; therefore, both the after school & summer camp programs will be Rigorous, Relevant & Relational. By operating on this 3 R’s principle, we will create an environment conducive to learning and not a baby-sitting service. And yes, we still have fun.It is our desire at Motivating Youth Foundation, Inc to build children who will be the first, (but not last) ones in their families to attend and graduate from college. Being smart is not enough; we must also equip them with integrity, a strong work-ethic and self-respect so they can take care of themselves and respect others. This is our process for building strong children.THE CEO:​​Roger Jackson understands the challenges facing today's youth. He grew up in a single-parent home with his mother, sister, and brother in Macon's Tindall Heights, a public housing development. He graduated from Central High School and earned a Bachelor of Science in physical education from Bethune Cookman College in Daytona Beach, FL. In 1982, he signed with the Denver Broncos as a defensive back, and retired after playing five extraordinary seasons. Roger spent a total of 18 years in the NFL, including his 13 years as a scout. Roger scouted for the Minnesota Vikings for (9) years, Kansas City Chiefs for (2) years, and the Denver Broncos for (2) years.​For years, it had been Roger's desire to give back to the community that helped him fulfill his dream of playing in the NFL. So, after his retirement, he returned to his hometown and founded Motivating Youth Foundation, Inc. (MOYO). In February of 2009, just a month after the Bibb County Board of Education discontinued thirteen after-school programs due to funding cuts, MOYO opened its doors at the Macon Housing Authority's Family Investment Center, located within the Davis Homes community. In the first month, MOYO enrolled more than one hundred students in the after-school program, serving students from twenty-five public schools across Bibb County and nearly forty students from within the Davis Homes community. Immediately successful, the program enrolled 170 students in its first MOYO Summer Program.Since August 2013, Roger has been a radio analyst on Mercer Radio with Rick Cameron.
