    • About Us

    OUR VISION

    ​The I Am Abel Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that seeks to bridge socioeconomic gaps and promote achievement amongst underrepresented minority inner city youth so that every child will have a shot at the not so impossible dream.

    OUR MISSION

    Our foundation believes that suboptimal education combined with inadequate mentoring and opportunities are key barriers for our children. Through our humanitarian outreach we will forever focus our students on the purpose of serving others with our gifts and talents. Through our camps, conferences, internships and mentoring programs, we are determined to increase exposure, education and opportunities for underrepresented minorities in math, science, research, medicine, public health and medical entrepreneurship with a strong emphasis on widening our pipelines to medicine and research. I Am Abel Foundation employs several key principles. Our participants must recognize that because we are “Able” – we are capable of amazing success and must accept nothing less. Because we are “Abel,” we are also our brother’s keeper and are each personally responsible for the success of our brother.
