The Young Talons is a division of The Huggins Foundation, Inc. a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization, providing for the basic needs of children, from education to health, food, and clothing . The current focus of our organization is on education readiness, and we run a private academy program that provides school supplies in a packed backpack for parents and teachers in the U.S. to discreetly distribute to students in need. Future programs, planned and in the process of ramping up, include initiatives to provide children with clothing, food and medical support, as well as the development of The Young Talons University and international Young Talons support.
The Young Talons founders were mentored for years–starting in the 1970’s–by a prominent government official who believed in the inalienable rights protected by the United States Constitution. He started a charitable foundation with a strong belief that youth are our future leaders, entrepreneurs, and society builders. He understood that basic needs for food, clothing, safety, medical support and education must be met for youth to enter society with the strength, dreams, and abilities to contribute productively; this foundation and its visionary creator were the inspirations for The Young Talons.
