As Ms. Green often says, “We’re just getting started. The best is yet to come.”
Our Story
In May 2023, Denise V. Green founded Green Pathways to Success Inc., a charitable nonprofit organization with a mission to support underserved children in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The nonprofit launched its signature brand, Intrepid, to champion educational equity and youth empowerment. Soon after, Ms. Green established Green Prospects & Solutions LLC and its signature brand, Initials, with a similar purpose, this time using commerce as a sustainable means to support the cause. Together, these two sister companies work hand in hand to close the educational resource gap and provide students with essential school supplies, materials, and year-round support services.
A dedicated educator with Miami-Dade County Public Schools since 1997, Ms. Green holds both a Master’s and an Educational Specialist degree. Her vision for direct, impactful community service led her to create organizations that empower students not only inside the classroom but far beyond it.
Both organizations officially launched in August 2023. Since then, they’ve partnered with local nonprofits and public agencies to distribute over 3,000 backpacks and educational kits in 2023 alone. In 2024, Ms. Green expanded her reach, collaborating with Be Strong International to provide an additional 2,000 backpacks to the community. She then teamed up with District 9’s Back-to-School Book Bag Giveaway to distribute another 3,000 backpacks.
During the 2024–2025 school year, Ms. Green personally contributed more than $6,000 in rewards and incentives through her school’s Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (PBIS) program.
Ms. Green’s work has attracted the support of major sponsors and community partners, including COSTCO, STAPLES, PUBLIX, MPS BANK, and others. Through these alliances, GPS has delivered toys, gift cards, and non-perishable food items to families in need since November 2023. Looking ahead, the 2025–2026 school year brings a new and exciting partnership with the NBA/MIAMI HEAT FOUNDATION, marking another milestone in the growth of GPS programs.
To help sustain and expand these efforts, Ms. Green launched the GPS Shopify Store, where purchases directly support youth programming and services. Proceeds from the Initials and Intrepid brands contribute to the organization’s broader mission, making sure every child receives the resources they need to succeed.
