Who We Are

Hi, we’re Derek Jones and Kelly Houston, the founders of DK Movement Cares, a nonprofit organization we started in 2023 with a shared passion for making a meaningful difference in our communities. Both of us have always been deeply connected to uplifting others, whether through personal efforts or professional endeavors.

Derek Jones has spent years leading and mentoring individuals, cultivating a belief in the power of community and positive change. Kelly Houston brings a compassionate heart and a vision for empowering underserved populations, especially youth, who often face barriers to success. Together, we’ve combined our experience, drive, and love for community, creating a nonprofit dedicated to breaking cycles of poverty while promoting resilience, equity, and growth.

Our Mission

At DK Movement Cares, our mission is to empower individuals and communities by providing access to resources, education, and support that foster personal growth, resilience, and social equity. We believe in creating opportunities that uplift those who need it most and building a future where everyone has the tools and opportunities to thrive.

Why We’re Raising Funds

We are thrilled to introduce the Mind & Motion Plus Youth Program , an innovative initiative designed to help teens navigate the unique challenges they face today. Through this program, we aim to equip youth with the tools to manage anxiety, enhance their communication skills, and develop a positive mindset.

The program integrates personal development workshops with weekly running sessions, utilizing physical activity as a foundation for teaching discipline, resilience, and stress management. Over the course of the program, teens will build emotional and physical wellness, gain self-confidence, and learn how to apply these skills to make a positive impact within their communities.

But we can’t do it alone. To make this vision a reality, we need your support.

We believe that by addressing both physical and emotional wellness, we can create a holistic approach to personal development that truly transforms lives.
