No one does it alone; the success of young people needs the support of many.” －卡特說：只要我沒有協助別人，我的成功便不算達成。 我的目標總是去協助其他人。The Embassy of Hope和我嘗試去鼓勵孩子們和家庭 去相信他們的夢想。沒有人孤獨的去做這事。 成功的年輕人需要去協助這些需要幫助的人。 Carter established The Embassy of Hope Foundation in 1998, to help address the needs of children and their parents. The foundations’ slogan, “ Believing in Your Dreams,” represents Vince's lifelong commitment to perseverance and achievement- qualities that have enabled him to excel as an athlete and as a person committed to helping those less fortunate. In addition to donating funds to worthwhile organizations and the “Believing in Your Dreams” Scholarship, he makes numerous appearances throughout the year on behalf on the foundation. －卡特在1998年成立The Embassy of Hope Foundation，來救濟孩子與他們母親的需求。 基金會的口號：相信你的夢想。 After his trade to New Jersey, Carter made reached out to his new community right away by participating in Nets community efforts hosting military families at the NBA Store on Fifth Avenue and visiting a home for the mentally disabled among other activities.
