The Will Allen Foundation was created in May 2008 to inspire youth to attain their personal best and to be an influence in the lives of families in both Tampa, Florida and Dayton, Ohio.

The foundation’s focus is to provide students with “real” life experiences and make available to them opportunities they may not otherwise be able to obtain without Quest for Real Life Success. Quest allows them to explore their curiosities and gives them the desire to strive and achieve goals outside of the norm.

Quest for Real Life Success

 In the spring of 2006, Will Allen & Labrawn Saffold developed "Quest for Real Life Success." Quest for Real Life Success is the core of the Will Allen Foundation. Quest is an after school program designed to prepare students for life after high school. The program will operate every other Tuesday at King High School and every other Friday at Brooks-DeBartolo Collegiate High School, in Tampa.

The program objectives include preparing students academically for college, preparing students for job/career opportunities and assisting students with developing character and integrity. Quest is structured to address key areas of a high school student's real life development. The program is divided into quarters, which are equivalent to high school students’ academic 9-weeks.

It is our expectation that students of the program will improve in all aspects of their lives by utilizing the skills learned through the program. It is our goal that the students' grades will improve and their test scores will rise. They will develop integrity and conduct themselves in a mature manner, and they will grow into productive leaders of tomorrow.

Quest also solicits the knowledge of local businessmen and -women as well as organizations to share their areas of expertise with the students in the program.

It is our goal that the students' grades will improve and their test scores will rise.
