OUR IMPACT

we’re more than just a service – we’re a movement

our impact

Our mission is to create vibrant, supportive environments where youth, educators, and families can thrive.

Covering both the northern and central regions of Indiana, we work alongside schools and communities to deliver impactful programs that foster mental health, employability skills, and a sense of belonging.

We’re proud to collaborate with a diverse group of fantastic partners, including Family Links, Dr. Tamika Zapolski, Sharon Kuhn, the Division of Mental Health and Addiction, the Allen County Health Department, and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Elkhart County – just to name a few. These partnerships amplify our efforts, enabling us to make a greater difference together.

Thanks to grant funding and these valuable connections, many of our programs are available at little or no cost for the first year. Join us as we celebrate the stories, milestones, and meaningful connections that define our impact. Together, we’re turning challenges into opportunities and empowering communities to flourish.

“Over the course of this program I have learned a bunch about myself and my feelings. Some days I walked into class going through the most terrible mornings where I didn’t even want to be here but hearing you guys talk and be such positive examples always had me leaving the room in a better headspace!

You guys really got me through my days without even knowing. I will keep your teachings and lessons in mind for a lifetime. Thank you for showing me that despite everything, you can still be resilient and bounce back from every setback.”

23/24 annual report

During the 2023-2024 school year, the team provided nearly 32,000 students experiences in 15 counties, 24 districts, and 71 schools. We are proud to say that 100% of our surveyed participants said they would recommend our programs to others. The impact of our work continues to grow each year and we look forward to continued growth in our mission to help youth, educators, and families thrive.
