Mrs. Michelle A. Wilson Green, founder and president of Reclaiming Our Youth Services (ROYS), established the nonprofit after enduring the tragedies of losing her sons, Isaac and Carlton, to gun violence in 2006 and 2016 respectively. With 32 years of service in South Carolina's public school system, Mrs. Green found solace in community service after her profound losses. She authored the acclaimed book "Anything Can Happen" in 2010, sharing her story of resilience, and later released "Anything Can Happen: The Trial and Now" after the passing of Carlton. Both books are available on Amazon.
​
Mrs. Green's dedication led her to serve as State Lead for Voices of Black Mothers United, a project of The Woodson Center in Washington, DC, empowering grassroots leaders to tackle community challenges. Inspired by this work, Mrs. Green founded Reclaiming Our Youth Services to mentor at-risk students, support grieving mothers, and advocate for violence prevention within communities. Her inspiring journey continues to impact lives, and support for her cause is encouraged.
