of Youth Angler participants now volunteer in local conservation projects
Founded by Sheronda Holzendorf, We C.O.P.E. Inc. began as a grassroots initiative to address two critical needs: bridging health disparities and combating environmental neglect in underserved communities. What started as a small volunteer group hosting neighborhood cleanups and wellness workshops has blossomed into a multifaceted organization empowering countless youth, families, and seniors.
Today, every program we offer—from teaching sustainable fishing to repurposing furniture—is rooted in our unwavering belief that healthy people and a healthy planet go hand in hand.
Youth Participant:“The Youth Angler Program taught me how to fish and protect our lakes. Now I volunteer to clean up trash by the river!”— Jamal, Age 14
Senior Beneficiary:“Thanks to the Consignment Program, my apartment feels like home again—without a single piece going to waste.”— Ms. Evelyn, Senior Resident
Parent:“The LOC Program helped my daughter embrace her natural hair. It’s more than beauty—it’s pride.”— Maria, Community Member
Partnering with
Natural Strands, we offer transformative hair care workshops to celebrate natural textures, boost self-confidence, and teach healthy hair practices. Let’s redefine beauty—naturally.
From health screenings to educational workshops, we provide the tools to overcome challenges and build resilience. Because every person deserves to thrive.
Youth and Family Angler Program
Teach your family the art of fishing while learning to protect our waterways. Together, we’re hooking future stewards of the environment.
We rescue gently used furniture, repurpose it, and deliver it to families and seniors—reducing landfill waste and fostering a greener, more compassionate community.
