Who are we and what do we do?
Who We Are
ADG Project Inc. is a nonprofit organization based in Staten Island, NY, dedicated to uplifting, empowering, and supporting underserved communities through culturally rooted, community-driven programs. Born from a passion to go against the grain, we bridge the gap between mentorship, mental health, and real-world skill-building.
What We Do
We provide innovative programs that meet people where they are—from our signature Cuts & Conversations initiative that blends barbering with mental health discussions, to youth development, educational workshops, support groups, and events that highlight healing, resilience, and growth. ADG Project Inc. is more than a nonprofit—we’re a movement for change, rooted in community, powered by lived experience, and focused on building a better future, one life at a time.
