"It was a deep intrinsic motivation to rise beyond the social and economic limitations of my background that pushed me to work hard. My humble beginnings and yearning for success serve as the impetus to make a difference in the lives of others, hence the conceptualization of CARICS."- Oniel Cunningham

"In order to resolve the things that are wrong we have to first recognize that we must develop our marginalized communities and individuals both socially and economically. CARICS’ aim is to do this through education, agricultural, the arts, real estate and for profit enterprises within these same communities, by providing affordable and practical solutions to resolving socioeconomic related and sociopolitical problems such as crime and domestic violence, regardless of designated category."

"Through community based programs targeting conflict resolution, anger management, as well as how to cope with the extreme trauma that is an everyday reality in many of these marginalized communities, we can help strengthen the resolve of those who need and yearn for it the most."

- "Cane Fields" by Scion Derby

A GLOBAL IMPACT

"In providing outreach and development programs locally and regionally The CARICS group and its members will in turn become a community to influence global change for marginalized communities. If we all begin in our corner and seek to build networks through those we impact, a sequence will be forged thereby allowing for far greater reaches and scopes."
