The Wisdom Foundation | Educating The Youth of The Carolinas

About Wisdom Foundation

The Founder

Wisdom Foundation founder, Marvin Wilson, earned honors for his service during Desert Storm in 1991. Mr. Wilson later secured a secretarial position at the Pentagon in 1992, then later extended his service in the U.S. Navy for an additional two years. Post-military, he embraced a role at the U.S. Veterans Hospital in Salisbury, North Carolina.

Marvin's commitment goes beyond his professional roles. He volunteered as a Desert Storm spokesperson at Veterans Day Parades and Chaplain Services, driven by his passion for travel and volunteerism. His dedication even extends to educating young minds on the importance of leadership and volunteerism in their personal growth.

Current Activities

Wisdom Foundation is currently hosting seminars for inner-city youth with an emphasis on positive lifestyles, gang prevention, community service, leadership and higher education. We are also recruiting and training positive resilient professionals to mentor in schools, community centers and juvenile detention centers. We are involved in board training and grant writing classes.

Our Future

We plan to provide diversity education, creative thinking skills, community service opportunities, leadership training, gang prevention and drop-out prevention. We will have a cadre of one-on-one mentors for fatherless young men and juveniles. We will host on-going seminars, online webinars, and fundraisers to assist our youth. Our long range plan is to provide summer training camp for young males at risk in our city.
