Our Story
Grace and Mercy Establishment was founded in 2011 and became a certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 2023. Since then, it has continued a remarkable journey rooted in healing, creativity, and community transformation.
From this mission, The YOUth Culture Club emerged as a subsidiary of Grace and Mercy Establishment—a therapeutic youth program designed to help young people heal, grow, and find their voice through expressive therapy and enrichment.
Originally, this vision took shape within A Moment in Time Selfie Museum, a creative space that was independently developed as an LLC by a survivor of sexual assault who turned her own healing journey—through art, journaling, music, and modeling—into a platform for others to heal.
As of October 22, A Moment in Time Selfie Museum has officially transitioned into the permanent home of The YOUth Culture Club, now operating solely as a therapeutic youth center. What was once a space for artistic exploration has evolved into a powerful hub for emotional wellness, creativity, and transformation.
This next chapter represents the heart of our mission—turning pain into purpose, and creativity into healing—for every young person who walks through our doors.
