Who We Are:.
The 4 love Foundation was established in 2022 by the founder and CEO Willis J. Russell. Mr. Russell believed that children were not meeting their full potential, because of limited needs being met in things sometimes we all take for granted in life. Through divine revelation, he received an epiphany that every boy has a future man in him, and every girl has a future woman in her. He also realized that every man still has a boy in him, and every woman still has a girl in her. Through these perspectives different needs had to be taught, whether they’re academics, life skills, problem solving, or even avoiding peer – pressure, by a person of trust (parent, teacher, mentor, etc.). The Foundation serves the community of Spartanburg County and the surrounding areas of the Upstate of South Carolina. We mentor the youth middle through high school through our two programs “The Real Man In Me and The Lady I Am”. Also, we do community engagement activities to help keep the kids off of the streets and prevent the juvenile justice system.
