Success Looks Different. Access Shouldn’t. Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation introduces MGB ACCESS LAB and joins Grow with Google as a Partner Organization.

We believe success looks different for everyone.

But one thing should never be different: access to the opportunity to succeed.

Today, the Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation is excited to introduce the MGB ACCESS LAB and announce our new partnership with Grow with Google, a program committed to helping people build the skills they need to succeed in the digital economy.

For us, this partnership is about more than technology. It is about access.

It is about creating pathways for people who may have the ambition, talent, and determination to move forward, but may not always have access to the tools, training, or resources needed to take that next step.

Through this partnership, the Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation, MGB ACCESS LAB will be able to connect learners with opportunities to develop in-demand digital skills, explore career pathways, and build greater confidence in navigating an increasingly digital world.

We are especially excited about the opportunity to provide scholarships and support to individuals who are ready to learn, grow, and invest in their future.

Our goal is not simply to give someone access to a course.

Our goal is to help them finish what they started.

That means creating a supportive experience that encourages learners to stay engaged, complete their coursework, pass their quizzes, and walk away with skills they can use beyond the classroom.

Because access without support is only part of the equation.

We want to help close the gap between opportunity and outcomes.

This partnership also aligns deeply with our AI for the Culture Movement, our commitment to increasing access to technology, digital literacy, and pathways to innovation careers in communities that have historically been overlooked or underserved.

The future is changing quickly.

Technology is changing how we work, how we learn, how businesses operate, and how we create opportunities for ourselves and our communities.

Everyone deserves a chance to be part of that future.

Whether someone is looking to build new skills, strengthen their resume, explore a new career path, or simply gain the confidence to say, “Maybe I can do this,” we want to help make that next step possible.

This is what community impact looks like to us.

It is feeding our neighbors.

It is supporting families.

It is creating opportunities for professional development.

It is investing in people.

And now, it is helping more individuals gain the digital skills they need to move forward.

We are incredibly grateful for this partnership with Grow with Google and excited about what we can build together.

Because when we expand access, we expand possibilities.

And when we invest in people, the impact does not stop with one person.

It creates a ripple effect.

Success Looks Different. Access Shouldn’t.

This is just the beginning.

Together, let’s make sure more people have the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in the digital future.

Looking Ahead: Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation 2025

As we move forward in 2025, the Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation is ready to make an even greater impact. Our mission remains the same to serve, uplift, and inspire. But this year, we’re taking things a little further.

We’re continuing our Success Looks Different for Everyone- Fireside Chat Series, proving that transformation isn’t about where you start, but about the consistency and commitment to growth. This year we’ll provide more opportunities for individuals to learn, develop and create their own paths to success.

For the first time, we’re partnering with Rise Against Hunger in May to package 1,000 meals for communities in Haiti or the Philippines. Hunger knows no borders and we are honored to expand our reach beyond our local community to fight food insecurity on a global scale. To donate or sign up for that project, click here https://www.riseagainsthunger.org/register/?id=701Pj00000AEg1eIAD .

We will continue our support of Seniors and Veterans at the Canterbury House in September in Roxboro, NC with our 2nd Annual Cookout in Honor of Mr. Wallace Umstead (Our Founder’s late father) giving them some great food and warm vibes.

Closer to home we will be sponsoring 4 families for Thanksgiving this year, making sure that they have a table full of food and a holiday filled with love. And as always, we’ll host our 7th Annual Feed the Homeless and Hungry Breakfast, in December, a tradition rooted in honoring Mrs. Cassandra W. Umstead ( Our Founder’s Late Mother) and ensuring that those in need don’t go forgotten.

But this is just the beginning. We are always open to working with new organizations and groups to expand our reach and deepen our impact. If 2024 taught us anything, it’s that when people come together for a common purpose, change happens.

In 2025, we’re also focused on educating the public about the work we do and how we can work together. Our foundation thrives on collaboration, and we want more people to understand how they can join us in making a difference. Our Founder is open to speaking engagements for this reason. If you want her to come speak to your group/organization please let us know. Connect With Us!

Here’s to another year of service, growth, and giving back.

Let’s make 2025 unforgettable. Are you in?
