About the Usher’s New Look
Usher’s New Look® (UNL) is a non-profit organization that transforms the lives of under-resourced youth through a comprehensive program which develops passion-driven, global leaders. Founded in 1999 by Usher Raymond IV and his mother Jonetta Patton, who were inspired after witnessing the dire narratives of Atlanta teens in a courtroom. As a result, UNL was created to tackle systemic barriers that prevent teens from graduating from high school and college.
Since its formation, Usher’s New Look has become a catalyst for under-resourced youth around the world to find their spark (passion), graduate, and reach their full potential. With unique mentorship and leadership programming designed to help teens see past their circumstances, discover their potential and unlock their purpose, UNL is creating a global network of leaders. To date, we’ve touched the lives of more than 50,000 youth!
