Exposure changes possibilities.
The ICU Project meets basic needs, builds meaningful relationships and creates transformative experiences for young people in the Augusta River Region, so they can see a future beyond their current circumstances and choose their own path.
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Augusta, Georgia
We meet young people where they are, then widen the view.
Meeting basic needs
Hygiene supplies and everyday essentials, so a lack of basics never decides who gets to learn and belong.
Building relationships
Steady connections with mentors, professionals and community leaders who show up for young people.
Creating experiences
Workshops, field trips and first-hand exposure to college, careers, culture and the arts.
60students at a local alternative middle and high school are getting the hygiene basics they go without at home.
Current project
Operation Morgan Rd.
Many of these students lack toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant and even access to a washing machine. Our board started the effort with their own donations and an emergency call, and made sure every student went home with a gift bag for the holidays.

The gaps we're working to close
