Rebuilding Lives, Restoring Communities
At Aim High Living, we believe in the transformative power of second chances and the strength of community. For over seven years, we have provided a vital bridge for mentees transitioning from incarceration and homelessness, offering a comprehensive program that empowers residents to overcome obstacles, secure professional employment, and achieve lasting independence.
Aim High Living envisions a future where all mentees are empowered to become thriving, professional members of society with access to safe housing, career-path training, and the guidance of mentors who have walked the same path. We break the cycle of homelessness and recidivism.

Building Stronger Communities Together
Our Origin
Operations began in 2018 in the heart of Wilmington, built on CEO and Founder Mayra Martinez's 20+ years of dedicated community service. What started as a grassroots commitment to mentees reentering society has grown into a comprehensive network of care.
From our original Wilmington home, we have expanded our footprint—meeting mentees where they are with institutional housing, mentorship, and tailored curriculum paths.
