Mission: Our mission is to help today's youth become the leaders of tomorrow they were meant to be, by helping them heal hearts and minds from childhood trauma, abandonment, and pain so deep in their hearts that it will affect their whole lives. While at the same time making sure they have a chance to just be kids and have fun that is why we have a variety of therapeutic activities and classes. We have a psychologist-approved program that will ensure that by the time they graduate from our 6-phase program to move on their own, they will be stable not just physically but mentally and emotionally as well. So they can be stable productive citizens. Our graduation process includes a small monetary grant that will cover the first and last, and a deposit of any place for rent that is approved by the program. by that time they will already have jobs and be able to support themselves. Our Program is a combination of educational and therapeutic community programs that is an individualized program. Each child is different and experienced different traumas therefore they need different things to heal.
Results: Still in the building process but we have been working closely with 2 different children's psychologists that specialize in trauma to build the perfect variation of our program that will be sure to work. my experience as the Founder comes from personal experience and that is why I want to do this.
