Encouraging the Next Generation
I’m passionate about investing in youth programs. I believe that actual change comes from education, mentoring, and opportunity. My passion is encouraging young people to build self-esteem, become leaders, and reach their potential.
I am building an environment through after-school programs, college prep, and mentorship that makes dreams feel possible.
“When you invest in kids today, you’re developing the leaders of tomorrow.”
Steel City Impact: Shaping Stronger Minds, Bodies, and Spirits
I created the Mind, Body, Spirit Initiative to develop well-rounded students, so they are ready for life, not just school. The program develops all areas of life:
- Mind: Tutoring, study habits, and career advice
- Body: Healthy living and exercising, as well as fostering good habits
- Spirit: Faith, character development, and improvement of self
The Mind, Body, Spirit Initiative provides young people with the tools to succeed, not just survive — from homework help to real-life mentorship beyond school. Research suggests students involved in programs like this graduate with a college diploma or take on big goals.
Arias Organization Community Work
I give my time and energy to local causes, supporting schools, cleaning neighborhoods, and helping community members in need.
Every year, I collect food, school supplies, winter clothing, and more, serving over 5,000 families.
I support local teams, youth groups, and community-sponsored events because kids should be supported in both indoor & outdoor sports.
