About

Project Arete Inc. is a 501c (3) non-profit dedicated to helping the neglected, abandoned and abused of society. This organization was established with a basic need of providing support to the disadvantaged. Our Founder and President, Claudine Hudson, envisioned Project Arete in dialogue with Dr. Cornel West, in exemplifying his passion towards excellence. Claudine then went to task, to create this organization as a medium for all to exemplify their HIGHEST FORM OF HUMAN EXCELLENCE (ARETE)-irrespective of race, income, gender, nationality or crucible. Our first project was focused on reducing homelessness in Orange County, CA. The organization has since spiraled in different areas supporting causes around bullying, domestic violence, immigration, and food insecurity. Our work is global, with outreach in the Caribbean, Africa, and Latin America.

​

Aid is provided by offering and facilitating resources through partner organizations. The overall objective of the program is to support these vulnerable groups to independence; through- mentorship, apprenticeship, social entrepreneurship, and genuine love.
