A BIT ABOUT US

The Mellowhood Foundation is a non-profit (501(c)(3)) corporation. It was the brain-child of Meadowood resident Tutankhamun (Coach) Assad. Coach established a flag football league in 2011 to keep under-served neighborhood kids structured over the summer. Along the way he learned from the youth, not only what they needed in the summer, but what they needed year-round in order to gain governance of their future. After the success of his efforts, the idea of the foundation was born.

​

The foundation provides opportunities for youth and parents in under-served and under-valued Madison neighborhoods to engage in constructive community activities. The focus of all activity is to help create an environment where youth and parents can both see leadership as a shared responsibility and experience using self-determination for constructive change.
