Hi! My name is Tyrone Starkie, Founder/CEO of non-profit organization, Community Heroes. In 2001 I had a reality check! I was a special needs student who transitioned into a traditional classroom setting. No school official or public figure had seriously questioned me about my ambitions after school. I had no idea what career I could pursue. James Lebrecht's (2020) statement sums up my feelings and thoughts best during that time. “You don’t have anything to strive for if you don’t know it exists.”.
The Start of Community Heroes
Sixteen years after I graduated high school, I was still witnessing the disproportion of special needs in Wayne Community. I knew I had to help rectify this issue. After two years of studying how to form a non-profit organization, I finally formed a phenomenal board of directors, and registered Community Heroes on April 30, 2019. Three major experiences have directly inspired me to create Community Heroes. The first experience is being unprepared for life after grade school. The second contributor is the inability to self-identify with someone with my limitations. The other major factor is the lack of employment opportunities.
Our mission is to embrace an at-risk population in the community. To provide mentors, educate and transform. To support community all-inclusiveness.
To create an all-inclusive world where societal perceptions are based on measurable accomplishments, and not uncontrollable genetic or environmental influences. To create enriching life experiences, that will positively transform individuals’
Our goal is to provide all citizens and communities with the services needed for an all-inclusive (equal accessibility) world.
I commit to making a difference;
to support, guide, and be a role model.
I commit to being consistent;
to be a steady figure over time, to be persistent, and to help others persevere.
I commit to encouraging others;
by listening, by understanding, by fostering strengths, and by showing empathy.
I commit to building a mutual relationship;
to enter the world of someone else, to hear about new dreams and challenges, to share
my own stories, and to respect the differences between us.
I commit to asking for assistance;
when I need my own support, when the struggles of a child or adult are bigger than I can handle,
when I am unsure.
I commit to recognizing;
that change often comes in small steps that barely leave footprints, that victories are
often unseen or unspoken, and that obstacles will always be present.
I commit to remaining sympathetic;
to the storms weathered, to the adversity faced, and to the experiences that occurred
long before this person entered my life.
I commit to realizing;
that my actions carry new weight and responsibility, that my role can never be taken
lightly, that my life will also change with this experience.
I commit to be a Hero.
