TORONDA DANIELS

Founder/Executive Director

Toronda Daniels is the founder and Executive Director of Arising Youth international, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the support of disadvantaged youths through the arts, education and leadership development. She's a philanthropist and youth advocate with over 20 years experience working with youth. Her most notable experience was working as a social worker for the North Carolina department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.

 
Toronda is a proponent of education and holds a master's degree in Human Services with a concentration in counseling from Capella University. However, it was her undergraduate studies that laid the foundation for her work with disadvantaged youths. As she worked towards earning a bachelor's degree in Sociology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, it was her minor in criminal justice that deepened her resolve to combat societal norms that inadvertently create a pathway for disadvantaged youths to transition from the playground to the prison. In 2015, she launched Arising Youth International in Kenya to provide support for disadvantaged youths. As founder, the most rewarding part is knowing that she is helping others and she's grateful for the opportunity.
