Programs:

Family Coaching // Our team of family coaches is committed to helping

families achieve self-sufficiency. Coaches work hand-in-hand with individuals, assisting in setting meaningful goals, finding creative solutions, and making connections to valuable local programs and resources that promote stability and growth. At milestones along the way,

accomplishments are celebrated by providing monetary incentives to recognize the hard work and dedication it takes to

make positive changes.

Student Success Planning // This relationship-based approach pairs each child or youth with an adult navigator to craft personalized action plans in collaboration with their families and other caring adults. Student success plans focus on the child’s needs and strengths and pinpoint supports,

enrichments, and resources to overcome barriers, foster growth, and advance their goals. With a holistic perspective, Success Planning ensures every child is known, seen, and heard, establishing a positive bond with a caring adult and empowering students to take charge of their journey to success.
