An Educational and Charitable 501(c) (3) Foundation since 1971, Federally qualified since 1973
OUR MISSION: To provide education for as many people as possible who are unable to provide such for
themselves; to provide housing for those in need and to support any other worthy charitable causes that may
enhance mankind's mental and philosophical evolution in all that is fine and noble.
Our current focus is the 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 homeless children currently in our country and the 500,000+
children in our foster care system steadily year after year. The futures of hundreds of thousands of our children
are desperately at risk every year. These are the children who fall into child prostitution, thievery, drugs,
murders and suicides - nearly all children in the foster care system also become homeless at age 18 - even if
they have succeeded in remaining in school.
Our "Icon Village" program is to develop many residences for youth who become homeless upon aging out of
the foster care system, as well as those who become homeless for other reasons, all of whom will continue their
education.
We know there are educational facilities everywhere, however, most youngsters in the 'foster home' system
lose weeks each time they change residences, weeks that become months - they begin to fail, falling far behind
others in their age group - they fail grades, lose pride and self esteem. These innocent young boys and girls
deserve a future. They deserve an experience that will stimulate enthusiasm again, giving them incentive to
learn and take hold of the opportunity to become contributing adults. Youngsters who become homeless who
are not post foster home residences, also suffer loss of school time, All these young people need the type of
assistance Icon International wishes to provide.
