Our program Finding GEMS (Growth, Empowerment, Mentorship & Success) is built on a trauma-informed foundation and structured into four distinct phases, each designed to nurture personal growth, build resilience, and prepare participants for long-term success. Following a graduation ceremony and certificate of completion, to celebrate their accomplishments, participants will receive 3 months of mentorship, weekly check-ins, and one-on-one coaching for continued development and to ensure a smooth transition to independence and application. Your contribution will help us provide our services FREE of charge to at-risk youth who might not otherwise have access to it.
As the ED and one of the facilitators of Finding GEMS, I have lived the experience as I was once also an at risk youth. Going through both the group home and foster care system, I know firsthand the challenges that come with such circumstances. I’ve walked in those shoes, faced the pain, and fought to overcome the obstacles before me. My journey was not easy, but has empowered and equipped me for the mission. Today, I am a living testimony that rising above adversity is possible, and I am dedicated to helping other children see beyond their current struggles, recognize their potential, and overcome the barriers in their way, as I have done.
Our participants will have real-life experiences and activities at least once a month to correspond with the essential skills being taught, ensuring they can apply what they have learned in a meaningful way while leveraging community resources to provide comprehensive support; and ultimately changing the trajectory of their lives to a path filled with hope and opportunities.
Let’s invest in a brighter future by empowering our youth; they’re the future adults who will lead it.
