Walking Hand-n-Hand
Our mission
Serving People with a Mission (SPM) is a nonprofit organization of collective servant leaders who bring positivity to communities through the action of serving people with a mission. Serving people with a mission is what we do best—and what that means is when a person takes action to make their community and environment better for society. Through education, leadership development, and community engagement, we train young people to be servant leaders who serve people with a mission by physically and mentally preparing them, connecting them to resources of knowledge, networks of power, and shining light on them to ensure their success. What began as a youth-founded effort born out of Chicago has grown into a movement that builds bridges, inspires change, and strengthens communities through one simple truth—our mission to serve people.
Our vision
Our vision is to create a world where serving others is second nature—a world built on compassion, connection, and collective leadership. We envision communities where every person feels empowered to take action that uplifts those around them, creating a ripple effect of positivity and progress. Guided by our servant leaders, we aim to inspire generations to lead with empathy, build bridges across difference, and strengthen society through one unshakable commitment—the mission to serve people.
