The Gray Matter Experience (TGME) is a Black-owned non profit and entrepreneurial experience program where Black high school students can explore business and creative areas within an innovative space. Our mission is to unlock the self-determining power of Black youth and strengthen their ties to community through real world experience in entrepreneurship. We believe that by allowing students to serve on the front lines of community growth and ownership, it will increase their self-worth and strengthen ties to the communities in which they live.
