Community Involvement

We are firm believers in "it takes a village".  Since our beginning we've always taken a grassroots approach.  Creating relationships and connections with those who live, work, and go to school in the communities we serve.  Additionally, we are just as big on advocacy as we are on the provision of quality programs.  Whenever possible we engage the community and collaborate with stakeholders in an effort to formulate viable ways to create system change in the areas of education, youth support, and economic development.

Flexibility

We understand that family dynamics and lifestyles differ from one household to the next.  And that traditional models of program or service delivery aren't always sufficient.  It is one of our goals to stay fluid and flexible in our delivery strategies.  In an effort to make our programs more accessible to the community.

Dreams are your ideas of success.  They exist only in your mind.  Goals begin to define the actions you must take in order to make your dreams reality...
