The mission of the MaliVai Washington Youth Foundation is to develop champions in classrooms, on tennis courts and throughout communities. The vision of MWYF is that the young people who participate in our programs will be provided with the resources they need to rise to their full potential and become contributing members of society. The MaliVai Washington Youth Foundation operates in Durkeeville, a historically African American community in Jacksonville’s urban core. We offer programs to underserved youth living or going to school in Health Zone 1 and JSO Zone 5. According to the Jacksonville Children’s Commission's ‘State of Jacksonville’s Children Report’ (2011), Health Zone 1 (consisting of zip codes 32202, -04, -06, -08, -09, and -54) has the highest concentration of risk factors for raising a child. In Health Zone I, 26% of the population lives below the poverty line and 38.4% of the population of children under 18 are living below the poverty line. Families living in Health Zone 1 experience the lowest average median income, the highest percentage of poverty and the highest incidences of unemployment, teen pregnancy, teen STDs, HIV/AIDS, births to unwed mothers, single-parent households, homicides and high school drop outs. In Duval County, only 75% of students graduate from high school in four years, and this percentage is even lower in Health Zone 1. Additionally, according to the JSO website, Zone 5 has the highest incidence of murder, violent crimes and property damage. They also have the highest incidence of reported child abuse and neglect and domestic violence. In 2011, 43% of the homicides that took place in Jacksonville occurred in Health Zone 1. This past year, zip code 32209 continued to have a high level of violence including the immediate vicinity of the Youth Center.
