MEET THE FOUNDER
Rolando Pisia: Founder of REKON Youth Foundation
At REKON, we believe every young person holds the power to rise above adversity and live with purpose.
I know what it’s like to grow up facing challenges—but I also know the difference support, creativity, and opportunity can make. That’s why I founded REKON Youth Foundation in 2019: to give young people the tools to discover their worth and chase their dreams.
Since then, we’ve reached over 20,000 youth through music production, sports, barbering, barista training, cultural workshops, leadership development, and more.
But beyond skills, REKON is a place where young people feel seen, safe, and significant—where potential is ignited and lives are transformed.
We’re not just running programs—we’re raising a generation of game changers and dream chasers. 🔥
Thank you for standing with us—together, we’re building brighter futures.
