R&B superstar Beyonce and her mom Tina Knowles know the importance of giving back to the community.

The two of them have opened up a beauty school at Phoenix House in Brooklyn, New York.

Phoenix House is a treatment center for recovering addicts. The beauty school will give some of them the opportunity to start a career after finishing the program there.

Recovering addict Sheri Hayes who has been clean and sober for over a year says, "It's a big difference to have some type of foundation in your life"

"It means a lot to me to just pick up my life and start fresh"

Besides opening the Beyoncé Cosmetology Center, B and her mom have promised to donate $100,000 annually to Phoenix House.
