Building people from the inside out.
220 LIFE is an education-based nonprofit committed to developing character, strengthening emotional intelligence, and equipping people with practical tools to navigate life, relationships, leadership, adversity, and opportunity.
Our goal is not simply to inspire people for a moment — but to equip them for a lifetime.
Our Mission
To educate, equip, and empower individuals by developing character and emotional intelligence through transformative education, mentorship, and meaningful human connection.
Our Vision
To build a generation of emotionally intelligent, character-driven individuals equipped to lead themselves, strengthen others, and positively transform their communities.
Our Purpose
To bridge the gap between education and life application. Academic intelligence teaches people what to know. Emotional intelligence teaches people how to navigate. Character determines what they will do with what they know.
We develop the internal qualities that
influence external outcomes.
Self-Awareness
Understanding emotions, behaviors, strengths, weaknesses, and personal patterns.
Self-Management
Developing discipline, emotional regulation, resilience, accountability, and responsible decision-making.
Social Awareness
Building empathy, respect, perspective, and an understanding of others.
Relationship Skills
Strengthening communication, conflict resolution, teamwork, trust, and healthy interpersonal relationships.
Character
Developing integrity, responsibility, courage, consistency, compassion, and personal leadership.
Character & EQ education, delivered five ways.

Who We Serve
What we stand on.
Character
Who you become determines how you respond to what life brings.
We develop integrity, responsibility, discipline, courage, and consistency.
Connection
Transformation is strengthened through healthy relationships.
We create environments where people can be seen, heard, challenged, supported, and valued.
Emotional Intelligence
Understanding yourself improves your ability to navigate yourself.
We teach individuals to recognize, understand, and effectively manage emotions while developing empathy and stronger interpersonal skills.
Accountability
Growth requires ownership.
We encourage individuals to take responsibility for their decisions, behaviors, relationships, and future.
Resilience
Adversity does not have to determine destiny.
We equip people to navigate rejection, failure, change, conflict, and difficult circumstances with greater emotional strength and purpose.
Leadership
Leadership begins with self improvement.
We develop individuals who positively influence their families, organizations, communities, and future generations.
We believe life transformation happens when people know better — so they can do better.
Think differently.
Feel intelligently.
Choose intentionally.
Act responsibly.
Live purposefully.
Character gives us the foundation. Emotional intelligence gives us the tools. Education gives us the understanding.
Help us equip people for a lifetime.
Every dollar given to 220 Life brings character and emotional intelligence education to schools, youth programs, churches, correctional and reentry programs, and communities that need it most.
