One Program = Three Sponsees + Nine Sponsors + One Community
OUR WHY
0.0%
of United States children, or approximately one in five, live in poverty.
$0
is the annual income poverty threshold for a family of four in the United States.
0%
of consistently poor children are expected to complete college by the age of 25.
BREAKING THE CYCLE
Together, we can alleviate the effects of inter-generational poverty
We are taking a multi-faceted and hands-on approach to solving an issue that affects millions of kids each year. If you or someone you know could benefit from joining our program, we’d love to hear from you!
PILLARS OF OUR PROGRAM
HOME LIFE
Throughout childhood, our interactions and security at home and within our family are key factors to feeling comfortable and safe. They directly affect how we navigate life's challenges, our attitude towards ourselves and relationships with others, as well as our self esteem. A healthy home life is a constant and vital ingredient to finding an achievable pathway to a meaningful and rewarding life.
WORK LIFE
A fulfilling job and career is not a gamble for a reward, but the reward itself. Working on something that really matters to us is not something that just excels our career trajectory - it may lead to a longer and healthier life. It helps us to have purpose, and has the potential to promote good mental and physical health. It helps kids transition from youth to adulthood, and gives them a greater sense of self.
RECREATION LIFE
Creating and maintaining a healthy level of social wellness and recreational activities allows us to create and hone our social intelligence, assertive skill sets, physical fitness, and stress management. It boosts self esteem, and puts us in productive and enjoyable networks and situations.
