Recognizing that young people lack the opportunity for positive experiences and activities, Community Partners was established in 1999 as a non-profit youth development organization for inner-city youth to come together in a structured forum to devise and carry out service projects in their own community.

The Get Up Stand Up Foundation is a non-profit organization created in honor of Gabriel Gaboo Mondesir, a local musician who became an amputee after being diagnosed with peripheral vascular disease and passed away in 2014. The mission of Get Up Stand Up is to raise money for families of amputee children to send them to the Paddy Rossbach Youth Camp thru the Amputee Coalition of America.
