Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
-Daniel 6:3

Our Mission
The mission for Stay Focused is to help families across America rebuild their broken dreams and repair their broken hearts. Stay Focused is a nationwide effort to inspire, encourage, and challenge our young people to reach for greatness. Stay Focused teaches our youth to never quit, never give up, or let anything stand in their way of becoming everything they were created to be.
Our Founder
Manuel Carrizalez
Founder/ Executive Director of Stay Focused
Manuel Carrizalez began his journey of faith in Christ after a previous life of gang violence and substance abuse, effectively giving up what hadn’t served him or his life in a positive way. Through Christ, he found his calling of working with and healing young people in the community who had been led down the very path he once walked.
