The mission of SMILE Project Empowers, Inc. is to empower youth and young adults (ages 4–19) and their families to thrive emotionally, socially, and mentally by cultivating confidence, meaningful connections, and self-awareness through community-based programs, education, and transformative experiences.

Join SMILE Project Empowers for BONDS, a new initiative designed to support the healthy development of boys through meaningful connection and shared experiences with the important adults in their lives.

This BONDS experience brings boys together with the significant men who support them for an engaging dining experience, where shared time will create space for bonding, conversation, and connection.

This event is open to boys and the men who support them—including fathers, uncles, grandfathers, mentors, and other significant caregivers—who play an important role in their growth and development. Through interactive activities and quality time, BONDS creates opportunities to build relationships, foster trust, and strengthen the foundation that helps boys thrive.

Come connect. Come grow. Come bond.
