Empowering Youth Through Love, Education & Opportunity
The One Love Foundation blends creativity, technology, and social impact to transform young lives. We keep youth off the street while teaching financial literacy, workforce development, and creative tech skills.
Honoring the Legacy of Ellawee Hodges
The One Love Foundation is dedicated to honoring the legacy of Ellawee Hodges (1951-2022), a beloved educator and community advocate who dedicated her life to empowering students and giving back to her community.
Ellawee's unwavering commitment to education, mentorship, and community service inspired the creation of the foundation and continues to guide its mission. Her legacy lives on in every youth we serve.
