BPOS Foundation, Inc. (Be Part of the Solution, Inc.) grew out of the parent organization The Tomorrow's World Foundation Inc. which was started in 1945 by Father John Herbert Jones, one of the first black Episcopal priests in the United States, along with his wife, Elizabeth Belle Jones and their daughter, Elizabeth Jones Johnson. These three were the grandparents and mother respectively to Elizabeth Johnson Rice. Their mission was similar to that of BPOS's today, in that they provided activities in the educational, spiritual, social, physical, and financial areas of individual's lives with specific training geared to stamping out "violence among youth", an injustice prevalent during that time period as well as today in many facets of our society.
Elizabeth Johnson Rice, the director and founder of BPOS Foundation, Inc. has continued the legacy founded by her grandparents and mother, who was the first black assistant dean of admissions at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. Mrs. Rice respects and honors the positive heritage of the past as she increases and exhibits passion for the present, anticipating positive solutions for the future. This has become our motto.
This principle is evident in the BPOS vision as it re-ignites a new generation of students and adults to foster greater pride and dignity in the present to bring about life changing experiences directing their future.
