I Can I Will was co-founded by Michael Gray II, Markus Gray, and Michael Gray Sr., in 2007. The purpose of the organization is to help youth better express their thoughts, share ideas, and motivate each other to achieve goals and realize dreams. I Can I Will believes it is important to teach youth about economics and basic business concepts at a young age. With that in mind, participating youth will be encouraged to develop small business ventures within their neighborhood in order to enhance their understanding of math, basic finance, and science through practical application. Children will also be involved in the group's community gardening program that teaches them about nature, economics, and teamwork. I Can I Will firmly believes that mothers, fathers, and entire community need to get involved with youth. There is a wealth of talent in the Chester Community. I Can I Will is tapping into that talent through "Block Parties" and other activities to expose Chester youth to the positive images and accomplishments that are within their own neighborhoods.
