is a Youth Development Company. Our mission is to renew the minds of the youth and to encourage them in finding purpose and vision in life. We aim to give a hope that creates determination and increased productivity for a successful future-one life at a time. We are a faith-based company with a vision for change for our future generation. Without investing in children and teenagers today, we contribute to them losing in life tomorrow. CEO and founder Tariko Satterfield is building a team of like-minded people who are passionate about reaching as many youth as possible.ReaLifEmpire offers a wide range of services such as mentoring, Leadership Academy, Sports training, Step Teams, tutoring, Art Classes, Urban Renewal projects and more. The services are aimed at youth with the desire to see full-family involvement and improvement.Working in the local school system for 6+ years, Satterfield "Mr. Satt" has seen a significant and consistant decline in the general behavior of youth, an increasing generational divide, and growing economic disparity for this young generation. Providing ReaLIfEmpire's services to many individuals over the recent years, Mr. Satt has seen many struggling students progress to acheive academic and social success. Many testify that regular encouragement, support and example outside of home and school contributed to their current successes.We are based in the city of Norwich, seeking to begin to make a difference in the lives of our youth on a larger scale. There is a huge need here for a center where youth can be sheltered, helped, taught, encouraged, fed and mentored outside of school and home. There is a need for a positive 'home base' for kids who would otherwise roam the streets and for those that need more than they get at home.Several years ago now, Norwich's center of social and extracurricular activity was eliminated with the closing of the YMCA on Main Street. The once thriving sports hall, swimming pool, center for those in need with a faith-based motive and the well-known attraction now sits in shambles. Many say the building is beyond repair and that it would take a millionaire to bring the YMCA property back to life. Many say its an impossible task.In 1981, Mr. Satt was born 2 1/2 months premature. He was on a breathing machine for almost 2 months and weighed a mere 4lb. From a broken family and a poor background, he was physically abused, molested as a young teen and was thrown out of college. Many said he was an impossible task.If you talk to the teens who have had Mr. Satt's empathetic voice in their lives, in the midst of their personal struggles, you will hear one after the other testify to the strength and direction it has provided for them. One teen candidly summed up the plan for the youth center-asking for a constant positive voice and safe place in his life after school is out and when trouble knocks on his door.ReaLifEmpire wants to do the impossible for, what some have called, an impossible generation. We have to start here and now. But we can't do it alone. It takes a village to raise a child, so with the help of families , schools, businesses and our community, we believe that one building can be the resurrecting center of change for our community and communities everywhere.
