Every Young Life Has Purpose.
Misplaced Foundation mentors youth, prevents crime, and empowers the next generation to stay in school, find direction, and build a future worth living.
Why Misplaced?
The Name Means Everything.
Incorrectly positioned.
Temporarily lost.
"We know that together, as a village, we will reposition our focus and find our rightful place in life."
No young person is permanently lost — they are simply misplaced. And what is misplaced can always be found.

"No young person is truly lost — they are simply misplaced. Our mission is to find them, guide them, and help them discover the purpose that was always inside them."
Founded in Washington DC and now serving Maryland and Atlanta, Misplaced Foundation believes every young person — regardless of background, circumstance, or past — deserves a chance to thrive. We show up in communities, in schools, and in lives to make that belief a reality.
