About Huckleberry Alliance, Inc.
Huckleberry Alliance, Inc. was inspired by Huckleberry Finn, an orphan in the novel by Mark Twain. Huck, a fictional character, remained optimistic despite his challenges with his alcoholic father. In Huck’s search for freedom, he developed his intuition, garnered his ability to endeavor to persevere and became an overcomer.
Similarly, Howard F. Langley, Jr., whom this non-profit honors, and the Father of our Executive Director, had a positive outlook on life despite his absent Father. “Endeavor to persevere”, a quote by Abraham Lincoln was repeatedly verbalized by my Dad. In fact, the framed motto hung in his office for all to see. At some point, I was gifted this treasure and it remains the only thing I have left of my Dads.
Huckleberry Alliance wishes to guide and educate fatherless teenagers. We want to highlight resiliency factors, strengthen the power of the mind, and encourage self-awareness.
We are grateful that you have landed on our page. We ask that you take this opportunity to learn more about The Huckleberry Alliance and the youth we serve. As we continue to build our non-profit organization, please feel free to check back in on our progress from time to time. We will do our best to keep you updated.
