Hooked on Helping

Michael R. Hooks grew up in a single-parent home. His mother never had a job and never owned a house or a car. Hooks says his family was a product of the welfare system, and he recalls being surrounded by people who barely scraped by.

Our Mission

The Assignment of Michael Making Lives Better, a non-profit institution dedicated to the principles of “Strong Families”; is to identify the marginalized and culturally disenfranchised of our community and bring about economic, attitudinal, and civic transformation, by means of a consistent and progressive indoctrination of civility and education.
