Alchemy, Inc. was established as a non-profit organization in 2003 with a mission to assist urban adolescent males to develop a sense of purpose in life and successfully function as members of a family, school and community.

Alchemy, Inc. provides a healthy masculine model and strategies that set youth on the right course to stay in school and become successful, responsible family men and professionals rather than being sidetracked by the false appeal of apathy, anger, drugs, violence and victimhood. 


Youth who engage in Alchemy’s programs: 
•	Increase their Social & Emotional Learning (SEL)
•	Increase their school attendance
•	Increase their Grade Point Averages
•	Increase high school graduation rates
•	Increase their college acceptance rates
•	Develop the character traits necessary to succeed in life


Alchemy is embraced by young men because of its authenticity and realness. Young males who are alienated, disengaged, and cynical toward life are drawn to our program because we offer a way to answer their “call to manhood.” Alchemy does not question or criticize their masculinity, but repositions its positive aspects to show the way from boyhood to manhood. Although Alchemy imparts knowledge, it is more about cultivating wisdom. Our values are steeped in the character traits of “The Hero.” The model of The Hero inspires youth to persevere, learn to make necessary sacrifices, overcome obstacles, and serve their community.








welcome to alchemy
Myth is great for urban youth. It relates to the days we are going through now; it helps us with life's obstacles. The myth gives us something to look up to, to make life choices. Myth is like the parent that's with you every second.
