Project Cultivate was founded in 2020 by Dr. Robyn S. Joppy with a clear vision: to empower girls through education, integrity, and economic development while creating meaningful, lasting change in the communities they live in. Born out of firsthand experience in leadership, compliance, and community advocacy, Project Cultivate was established to intentionally cultivate confidence, purpose, and opportunity—especially for girls from underserved and disenfranchised backgrounds.

Since its founding, Project Cultivate has remained deeply community-focused, delivering programs that meet youth where they are and, address both personal development and real-world barriers to success. What began as a local initiative has steadily grown through strong partnerships, trusted relationships, and a commitment to excellence. Today, Project Cultivate’s impact extends beyond the local community to reach girls and young women across the United States, African Diaspora, and the Caribbean providing education, mentorship, health resources, and transformative experiences that promote dignity, leadership, and self-worth.
