Why s.o.p.?
Dr. Terrance Haynes established the nonprofit Seeds of P.R.A.I.S.E. in the fall of 2019. After the loss of his stepson Tyler(2019) by suicide, and adopted son Andre(2020)by homicide,Dr. Haynes recognized a disturbing pattern in his hometown Franklin, Tennessee of young men and women losing their lives to addiction and violence most before the age of 30. Several of his classmates, are experiencing life with the loss of an adult childre in their twenties because of drug addiction, violence, or suicide. We have continued to see the families of young adults having to bury their love ones too soon.
S.O.P. provides mentorship, advocacy, and education as a response to this crisis. S.O.P.. is asking you to become one of our first 100 MVP's Magnificent Visionary Planters committed to changing the lives of our youth partnering with us to plant P.R.A.I.S.E., as we focus on guiding them to success.

Awareness overview
As we examine data for Franklin, Murfreesboro, and Columbia our work is more urgent today than ever. The lack of educational success in the economically disadvantaged and Black populations in each of these communities continues to be a source of inspiration for our work. We believe awareness will lead to empowerment.
There were approximately 7,000 students considered economically disadvantaged in the S.O.P. targeted school districts in 2022. About 25% or 1700 of the students in this subgroup met the academic benchmarks required by the state. According to this data more than 5,000 students in this subgroup are not meeting state benchmarks in our targeted areas.
There were nearly 8300 Black students in the S.O.P. targeted school districts in 2022. About 30% or 2400 of the students in this subgroup met the academic benchmarks required by the state. According to this data approximately 6,000 students in this subgroup are not meeting state benchmarks in our targeted areas.
