Our Story
People, families, and communities are at the heart of who we are, and seeing them emotionally healthy is our mission.
Education is such a gift of transformation for families, it is a beacon of hope that generations long for; to give their children an opportunity to have a better life and create a healthier world. As parents and educators, we know the journey for every child is unique with its own bends and twist, but it is also characterized by individuals – rare people that make monumental impact in the lives they touch. These people are teachers, mentors, coaches, counselors, youth leaders, pastors, volunteers, and everyday people who make a choice to make a difference.
Our story starts here because we know that people thrive within connection and and the right kind of emotional support. Neighborhoods and communities are transformed when individuals develop into teams, and teams grow into family, and family becomes the village that provides, protects, and educates the next generation. There are too many gaps in our culture today, and we look to occupy them with strategic efforts that meet real needs and build up the health and well-being of a family unit.
The bottom line – we want to see healthy children thriving in education, but we believe it begins with building healthy families first.
