About
Face to Face Enrichment Center (Face to Face) was established in 2006 as the vision of Gabrielle Briley-Johnson, who had a heart for reaching disadvantaged populations and a desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. After stepping out on faith, she transformed that vision into an organization committed to meeting people where they are and helping them move forward.
What began as a vision has grown into a multi-state organization serving communities across Louisiana and Texas. Since its inception, Face to Face has provided an array of programs and services to thousands of individuals, with a particular focus on disadvantaged youth and families. Through mentoring, education, prevention, outreach, intervention, and supportive services, Face to Face works to create opportunities, strengthen communities, and help young people reach their full potential.
Today, Face to Face is housed in six locations:
-
Baton Rouge, Louisiana – Headquarters
-
Baton Rouge, Louisiana Mid-City
-
Hammond, Louisiana
-
Metairie, Louisiana
-
Houston, Texas
-
Dallas, Texas
Behind every program and every person served is a team of dedicated staff members who share a common vision: changing lives. Our team brings passion, compassion, and commitment to the work each day, recognizing that sometimes one person, one conversation, one opportunity, or one connection can change the direction of a life. For 20 years, Face to Face has remained committed to its mission of serving others and building stronger communities. While our programs and reach continue to grow, our heart remains the same: to meet people Face to Face, serve them with purpose, and make a lasting difference, one person at a time.
We believe all youth can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.
