About CORE

Why the layers matter?

  • Inner Core - The Youth Themselves
    Solid, strong, full of God-given identity and potential.

  • Outer Core - Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual Well-being

    Fluid and always shifting - needing guidance, grace, and stability.

  • Mantle - Life Skills and Resources
    Semi-solid. It shapes the outer layers. What we teach and provide matters.

  • Crust - The Reality They Create

    What the world sees - a reflection of how their inner world was nurtured.

ABOUT C.O.R.E.

What is CORE?

C.O.R.E. (Create Our Reality Everyday) is a faith-based youth development initiative that I founded to support the whole student — spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. Led by educator and mentor, LaRisha Brossie, CORE exists to equip young people with tools that empower them to live purposefully, lead confidently, and grow deeply in their relationship with God.

Born from the belief that faith should guide every area of life, CORE offers accessible resources that support identity, emotional wellness, spiritual growth, life skills, and academic success. Every worksheet, devotional, journal, and tool is created with the intention of helping youth take ownership of their development and live with intention every single day.

Lead by Scripture:

“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” - Matthew 7: 13-14

CORE is more than a program. It's a place for youth to grow in faith, build confidence, develop life skills, and create a reality rooted in purpose.

Whether used in schools, churches, homes, or community programs, CORE resources are designed to walk with youth through real-life challenges and help them discover their God-given identity and potential.

Mission

At CORE, our mission is clear: "Where Faith Meets Future."

It exist to guide youth in developing a strong inner foundation rooted in faith, while equipping them with the life skills, leadership tools, and emotional support needed to navigate the real world.

I believe that by creating intentional spaces where faith and development intersect, young people can begin shaping their own realities - ones filled with purpose, direction, and hope.

Vision

Grounded in faith, led by purpose, and rooted in the belief that young people deserve more than surface-level support.

CORE stands for Creating Our Realities Everyday, and at its heart is a vision that speaks to transformation from the inside out.

To see every young person rooted in faith, equipped with purpose, and empowered to create a reality that reflects their God-given identity, potential, and leadership.

This vision goes beyond education. It goes beyond motivation. It's about formation. I believe that when young people understand who they are and whose they are, they begin to shape their lives in alignment with both truth and destiny.
