Our Mission
The Forgotten Ones Program Services Inc. exists to serve the underserved youth of Sacramento—specifically Black and Brown minority youth aged 12-18 who have been exposed to gangs, gun violence, and systemic neglect. We reach those who have dropped out of school, those involved in the justice system, and those whom others have given up on.
Our objective is simple but profound: to change lives by providing real, hands-on mentoring and consistency. We don’t just talk about change—we walk alongside our youth every day, showing up when others don’t, and believing in potential that statistics say shouldn’t exist.
In partnership with the City of Sacramento, Sacramento Police Department, probation, and parole departments, we provide court-approved programming that satisfies legal requirements while actually transforming lives. Every Tuesday at 4 PM, you’ll find our team feeding the homeless, teaching our youth the value of compassion and community service.
"We don’t see 'bad kids.' We see forgotten potential. Our job is to remind them who they are and who they can become."
