Community Engagement
OUR PURPOSE
We believe in the power of intentional action to create change, emphasizing the feelings we get from interacting with others. We want people in our community to feel at home and supported by their neighbors; so often we work side-by-side with other organizations for this purpose.

Homelessness Awareness
OUR PURPOSE
For us, it is important to dispel the common misconceptions and stigmas surrounding being homeless. Homelessness can often lead to feelings of shame or embarrassment which are perpetuated by these misperceptions. Homeless people need comfort and support, as well as an increased awareness that there are many causes of homelessness, rather than just addiction or mental illness.

Youth Initiatives
OUR PURPOSE
It is imperative for us to nurture young people's sense of identity and hope for the future. This includes strengthening their social, emotional, and educational development so they can make informed decisions about what steps to take next in life. In turn, this will promote life skills, academics achievements, personal responsibility, active citizenship and community engagement which we believe are vital factors that contribute to overall wellbeing.

Entrepreneurship & Mentorship
OUR PURPOSE IS...
We work to both assist and identify the relationship between what an experienced business owner knows and has done with their company and a current or potential business owner or employee. The relationship is identified through sharing of knowledge, experience, expertise - all while focusing on internships as well; in order to prepare them for becoming future leaders.
