About Us
Eula and James Patterson
The 411 Foundation was Founded by Sean Patterson in November 2010 in honor of his father, James Edward Patterson, who passed away in 1985. James stood 4’ 11”, but had a “giant” presence in his community and outreach programs. This foundation is dedicated to the life and works of James Edward Patterson who as a father, friend and coach was passionate about helping others. He worked to inspire young adults to reach their full potential. Along with his wife, Eula Mae Patterson, they inspired their children to always give back and help others. The 411Foundation is the direct result of their inspiration and encouragement.
The 411 Foundation’s mission is to help young adults become self-sufficient and contributing members of their communities. “4-1-1” is also recognized as a way to get assistance or information. We have a passion for helping young adults develop employable skills, make informed career choices and fulfill their dreams through assistance with skill development in the areas of employment, healthy relationships, self identity and volunteerism. We will do this by providing relevant and usable employment information and by assisting with direct contact with real work places. We will help make the goal of training and a rewarding career an attainable reality.
