Tifany Thomas is a passionate educator, entrepreneur, and advocate who has dedicated her career to unlocking potential in young people others have overlooked. With degrees in Criminal Justice, Public Administration, and Special Education, plus extensive certifications in community service and trauma-informed care, Tifany brings both academic rigor and lived experience to her work.

After two decades supporting vulnerable populations—from youth with special needs to justice-involved individuals—Tifany recognized that traditional support systems weren’t addressing a fundamental barrier: economic powerlessness. Young people needed more than aid; they needed agency. They needed to become wealth creators, not just wealth seekers.

This realization led to the creation of The Hope for Humankind Foundation’s youth entrepreneurship program, which combines practical business development with financial literacy and emotional support. Under Tifany’s leadership, the foundation doesn’t just change lives—it changes trajectories, transforming young people into entrepreneurs, investors, and community leaders.

Tifany’s unwavering belief: every young person deserves the tools, training, and trust to build their own path to prosperity.
