We’ve all heard it, especially from those that grew up with larger families or in smaller towns. Sometimes children were raised in part by a family member or spent a lot of time with family friends. But it couldn’t be truer said for children in the Foster Care System that rely on people to get their needs met.
And we believe that there is endless value in that philosophy. There are plenty of reasons why so many civilizations throughout history and across the world live in multi-generational households as there is plenty to learn and teach across the board.
What has been learned through years of practice and from countless failures can be passed on to give each child some perspective to hopefully avoid many of the same mistakes.
But we also understand that mistakes are inevitable and vital for personal growth, and when they do happen, we hope to be able to offer the guidance to embrace failure as something to learn from.
Our goal is to create a Village for those that don’t have the means to do it themselves, to create a web of resources and support that will last beyond their stay in the system.
We break this into three phases:
Phase I
Obtain a sustainable home for our program that will work for future gardening, animal fostering, and other projects
Follow every legal procedure to get up and running and obtain the necessary licensure
Raise continual funding and awareness to support our vision
Phase II
Launch a program that focuses on individual growth and support.
Focus on the individuals in our program, offering mentorship to help them meet obtainable goals that they have set for themselves.
A holistic approach to health and physical and mental wellness
Phase III
Expansion and Duplication to support a larger number of youths in our communities
Extended guidance and support for obtaining housing via tiny homes, work and applying for college
Working with the community to implement a scholarship system to help with college expenses
