In 2006, Justin Rule started teaching an after school magic class and had no idea that so many Divine doors would open leading to HEADS UP. Uniting with local urban professionals with a passion to empower youth, HEADS UP has grown from one program to nearly thirty!

By connecting with students in their neighborhoods, churches and communities, we can empower them in their passions. We are after more than just safe-haven environments; we are pursuing character, integrity, heart and soul.
