About our Founders
The Samuel L. Felton Jr. CDP Inc. was founded in 2009 by Alshi Williams, a lifelong resident of Lorain County. Alshi has a distinguish military record of 12 years in the U. S. Marine Corps and service with the Defense Intelligence Agency and is currently serving as Lorain County Veterans Service Officer. Now a family man himself, he is keenly aware of the increasingly hostile barriers to success facing our youth.
In 2010, the Samuel L. Felton Jr. CDP Inc. rented a former warehouse space on East 19th Street in Lorain and through donations set up a facility to simultaneously tutor and train youth. Alshi teamed up with Randy Parsh and Samuel L. Felton Jr., our 2010 Lorain County Veteran of the Year, and is actively recruiting local veterans to serve as mentors to these youth.
