Our Founders
Nicole Johnson and Ava Grace Johnson
The Empowerment Foundation started as an effort to help young adults with diabetes. For 10 years we delivered the Students With Diabetes program and a variety of psychology education initiatives for families living with diabetes and experiencing diabetes distress. Today, our work has expanded to include leadership development and youth service-oriented skill building.
