Our Story
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Two-Six Project supports historically under-resourced youth and communities through intentional exposure, education, and community activation to foster leadership, creativity, and advocacy.
WHO WE ARE
Founded by Grant Bennett in 2020 at the height of COVID-19, The Two-Six Project was born from a deep passion for community and a bold vision for a brighter future. By connecting young entrepreneurs, creatives, and athletes with youth from marginalized backgrounds, the organization quickly became a powerful catalyst for change in Bennett’s hometown of Fayetteville, North Carolina. Through grassroots programming, strategic partnerships, and collaborations with influential organizations like Google, Microsoft, Dreamville, and the NBA, The Two-Six Project has evolved into a vital resource for marginalized youth across the Southeast. Led by a dynamic team of young professionals, the project is empowering the next generation of leaders through innovative, community-driven initiatives.
