Running Toward Change: The Ahmaud Arbery Foundation
On February 23, 2020, Ahmaud Arbery’s life was unjustly taken while simply jogging through his neighborhood—targeted by racial prejudice and senseless violence. In the face of unimaginable loss, his mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, refused to let injustice have the final word. She fought tirelessly to hold her son’s killers accountable, securing a conviction that set a precedent for justice. But Wanda’s mission didn’t stop there. Turning pain into purpose, she founded the Ahmaud Arbery Foundation to create real change—championing mental health awareness, scholarship opportunities, and youth development camps that uplift and empower young Black Men. Through these programs, Ahmaud’s legacy lives on, inspiring a future where every young man can run freely, dream boldly, and thrive without fear
Our Core Initiatives
More than just a race, the Run With My 5K is a community movement dedicated to physical wellness and fundraising for our core programs. It’s an inclusive event that encourages health, camaraderie, and direct local impact—with every step taken supporting our scholarships and youth camp initiatives.
Our Youth Experience Camp is where leaders are forged. It’s a dynamic, immersive program designed to build essential life skills, foster teamwork, and expose young people to diverse professional possibilities. Through mentorship and hands-on activities, we cultivate confidence, resilience, and a community-minded spirit.
Financial barriers shouldn’t block educational aspirations. The AAF Scholarship provides critical funding to help ambitious students cover tuition, books, and living expenses, making higher education a reality. We invest directly in their academic journey, ensuring they have the foundation they need to thrive in college and beyond.
"Voices of Impact, Journeys of Promise"
Hear directly from the inspiring students whose lives have been touched by the Ahmaud Arbery Foundation. From scholarship recipients pursuing their dreams to campers building lifelong skills, their stories reflect the power of opportunity and community. Together, we are shaping futures and honoring Ahmaud’s legacy.
"The AAF Scholarship didn't just pay my tuition; it gave me the peace of mind to focus completely on my studies. Knowing that Ahmaud Arbery Foundation believed in my potential was the motivation I needed to push through my hardest semester. I'm now on track to be the first college graduate in my family, and I couldn’t have done it without this support."
"I thought college was a dream I couldn't afford. This scholarship proved me wrong. It opened doors to new opportunities, connected me with mentors who guide my career path, and showed me the power of community investment. I am profoundly grateful and inspired to give back once I’m established in my career."
"Before camp, I was shy and unsure of what I wanted to do. The activities forced me to step out of my comfort zone and connect with other students who are also driven. I left with a stronger sense of self, a clear vision for my high school years, and friendships that are going to last. Best summer experience, hands down."
"Attending the Youth Experience Camp was truly one of the best experiences of my life. The outdoor activities and teamwork challenges were exciting, but the life lessons I learned left the greatest impact. The camp taught me about the importance of confidence, kindness, and staying true to my values, which I will carry with me throughout my journey."
