OUR
ORGANIZATION
The YOEL HELPS Organization Inc, a Non-Profit (501c3) community focused organization, positively impacts and improves the lives of economically disadvantaged communities by offering solutions that empower, support and connect them to a greater purpose.
OUR
FOUNDER
Darwin Burks aka YO'EL, a resident of South Metro Atlanta, and business owner of twenty plus years is the husband of Shontel Burks and father of two adult children.
YO'EL, earned his BS degree in Network & Communications Management, is a Master Technology Instructor, Systems Consultant, Music DJ, and Advocate for homeless solutions. YO'EL and volunteers have served the homeless population of Atlanta since 2016 both independent and alongside other community solution organizations.
In 2022 Abba-YAH (God) directed the outreach operation to include low-income communities. This new directive and operation were appropriately named YO'EL HELPS. In offering activity-based engagements, to include youth day camps, business and personal development courses, onsite concerts, health fairs, neighborhood clean-ups, elderly care and more has YO'EL HELPS been able to foster a more enriched relationship in the communities they serve. These relationships give space for ministry, job training, healing and community impact for YAH's glory.
YO'EL HELPS aims to make a positive kingdom-focused impact upon countless communities by partnering with like-minded community servants so as to serve those in need by providing career-based opportunities through skills-learning, leadership and entrepreneurial training, youth mentoring and community connection.
