Rocket-Powered Positive Path Forward, Inc. is a non-profit youth empowerment organization committed to igniting young people’s confidence, fueling their potential, and launching them toward brighter futures.
Just like a rocket needs a strong foundation and powerful fuel, we believe that every young person can soar beyond their perceived limits with encouragement, guidance, and community support.
Our mission is to provide young people with the tools, connections, and self-assurance to make a positive impact in their communities, creating a ripple effect of growth and transformation.
To help young people:
~ Recognize their capabilities and self-worth
~ Increase their self-determination and resilience
~ Feel comfortable trying new things
~ Have the confidence to take risks
~ Understand that failure is a step toward progress
~ Not use the opinions of others as their guideposts in life

Reflecting on the organization’s impact, Marvin says “It’s about creating the kind of experiences we all need – a reason to dream, connect, and build each other up."
