The mission of EYTO Foundation, Inc. is to provide avenues and support to underprivileged youth so that they can achieve success in their pursuits of excellence and be positive contributing members of society.

Youth coming of age in today’s society faced challenges and barely negligible issues a few decades ago. Youth development experiences are connected to positive outcomes in youth, including decreases in negative behaviors (such as alcohol and tobacco use and violence) and increases in positive attitudes and behaviors (such as motivation, academic performance, self-esteem, problem-solving, positive health decisions, and interpersonal skills).

The EYTO Foundation, Inc. is an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created by Elliott Smith to provide opportunities for youth to develop self-realization, positive relationships, effective work ethics, and community responsibility. EYTO will provide underprivileged male youth training, mentoring, and extracurricular activities designed to expose them to life outside of their immediate communities.
