THE PROBLEM

Do you often feel overwhelmed by the brokenness in the world? We see problems like poverty, addiction, abuse, and homelessness around us and its easy to feel powerless.  


​An overwhelming amount of families are in crisis situations and children are experiencing trauma at a higher rate than ever before.  When you begin to look deeper at the families in these situations, you start to start to see commonalities, root causes of this epidemic. 
How can we expect a child to become a healthy, successful adult when they have never seen any other option?
Every adult in a crisis situation was once a child.  More often than not,  this adult experienced trauma during childhood.  They grew up around abuse, addiction, crime, and unhealthy relationships. They are now simply repeating this with their own family.
​A child from crisis is more likely to: 
-  have sex before age 16
- run away 
- become a member of a gang
- attack someone or get into a fight
- have a child by the age of 18
​- be charged with a crime by the age of 24
​​A child from criss is less likely to: 
- earn a high school diploma 
- graduate from a four year college 
- remain consistently-connected to school and/or the labor market between ages 18 and 24

Work Ethic

Teach responsibility and a strong work ethic which will help overcome life's many obstacles. This creates a culture of working hard and giving back to the community. ​

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
