FROM THE CEO
George Banks Jr
"Through my years of working with young men, I’ve seen just how tough the transition to adulthood can be for so many of them. They’re up against a lot: housing instability, no solid support network, and financial struggles that make finding work and handling daily responsibilities even harder. There’s a real gap between what they’re dealing with and the skills they need to handle it all.
But I’ve also seen that change is possible. With the right guidance, a supportive environment, and mentors who believe in them, these young men begin to build the confidence and skills they need. They learn to stand up for themselves, to build real connections, and, most importantly, to believe that they can make it on their own.
This is why SPSH exists: to be that place where young people can get the support they need, one step at a time. They’re at a crucial stage in their lives, and with the right resources, their potential is limitless. At SPSH, we don’t just give them a safe space; we help them learn, grow, and work toward a sustainable, independent future. All they need is a chance and a place to start—and that’s exactly what SPSH is here to be."
