The only way is up
The Two-Six Project supports historically under-resourced youth and communities through intentional exposure, education, and community activation to foster leadership, creativity, and advocacy.
THE TWO-SIX IMPACT
youth Engagement
Through multiple programs our organization empowers hundreds of youth through year-round leadership development.
Students engage in monthly immersive sessions with industry professionals, gaining direct access to technical pipelines and character development through our Emerging Leaders Program (ELP). Our programming bridges the gap between ambition and opportunity by offering targeted, multi-generational impact: from building early literacy foundations with Readers for Leaders, to providing hands-on technology and digital literacy training through our STEAM initiatives at Two-Six Labs.
ACTIVATIONs
The Two-Six Project creates impactful community experiences by partnering with professional athletes and major organizations.
Recent activations include NFL player Joshua Williams' hometown giveback servinghundreds in Fayetteville, a historic joint Bank of America financial literacy session , and We amplify these learning experiences through elite, real-world sports and community exposure—headlined by our marquee partnership with Dennis Smith Jr. to host over 3,000 families and actively engage 100+ local youth at the annual SmithWay Invitational tournament weekend.
SCHOLARSHIPs
Our Scholarship Fund provides financial assistance to students who participate in our initiatives and pursue post-secondary education.
Since inception, we have awarded over $30,000 in scholarships to more than a dozen students, including the Cameron A. May Memorial Scholarship, which honors outstanding dedication to academics, athletics, and community. Deepening this commitment to regional empowerment, founder Grant Bennett returned to his alma mater, Pine Forest High School, to serve as the Senior Day keynote speaker, where he personally announced an additional $10,000 donation in scholarships to support the graduating senior class on their journeys toward higher education.
