President & Founder Eugene Thomas "Buddha" 

My name is Eugene Thomas aka Buddha I am from the Frankford section of the city of Philadelphia. I have a strong passion for the youth which comes from my experience growing up in the intercity.  I too grew up in the same environments and fell victim to the same traps, so I relate with the youth fully . We started Powercircle in Frankford because there were no positive platforms or outlets for kids to look up too or be apart of.   The GOAL of Power Circle is to get as many youth off the streets as possible by providing a positive outlet and creating opportunities for advancement.   

 

In addition to being the Founder/ President of Power Circle, I am also a small business owner.   I have a store front on Frankford Ave. which sole purpose is for providing a creative space for the community to come get resources.  In my lifetime I have lost many teens, friends, and family to gun violence , with Power Circle we hope to change the cycle and give our youth a head start at a successful life.
