OUR PURPOSE IS IN OUR NAME
COMMUNITY
We believe one of the greatest needs in our community is to help families support their young adults. Data shows that the risk of violence is greatest for young adults 18-24. Young adults also make big decisions during this age that can impact their entire family. When we focus on this age group, our hard working community is stronger because the well-being of families increases.
UPLIFT
Who doesn't need a little cheering up? The world can be draining, and we believe that home is where you fill your cup back up. Through our programs and social enterprises, we work alongside our young adults to innovate fun events, activities and outreaches to uplift our city. #fillyourcup
PARTNERSHIP
We can't do this work alone. We rely on partnerships with organizations that are passionate about helping our city and our families. It truly is practically perfect in every way because of our mutual love for people, we are able to partner with churches, government, schools, businesses, city developers and other non-profits. Together we all impact our city.
These are the four ingredients we blend into everything we do.
LOVE
"We choose to love in all we do! Because God first loved us, we can love others. We believe it is the highest calling to choose to love over anything else...
TRUST
Trust is at the core of everything we do. We assume the best in our community, we assume the best in each other. Trust is the solid foundation we build upon as we ultimately trust in God.
EDUCATION
Every moment is a teaching moment...it's never just a conversation. The goal of every single exchange is for each of us to grow in wisdom, generosity, kindness, forgiveness, and love.
Connection
The young adults in our program are not just a job, instead, they are our family. Building relationships with each other and the community is key to our mission.
