SUPPORT OUR PROGRAMS

Independent Living Skills Training

This intensive program provides youth and young adults from marginalized communities with the foundational skills they need to thrive independently. We cover budgeting, financial management, navigating social services, safe and affordable housing options, transportation planning, meal preparation, and maintaining a healthy living environment. Our goal is to promote self-sufficiency and break down barriers to stability often faced by individuals from marginalized backgrounds.

Healthy Boundaries

This workshop series addresses the unique challenges marginalized individuals face when establishing and maintaining healthy personal and professional boundaries. We explore topics like assertive communication, power imbalances in relationships, recognizing red flags, and understanding consent within cultural contexts. Participants will develop a personalized toolkit for setting boundaries that protect their well-being and foster respectful interactions.

Cooking with Your Soul

Food is a powerful form of cultural expression and sustenance. In this program, we focus on affordable, nutritious cooking that celebrates diverse culinary traditions. Participants will learn foundational cooking techniques, budget-friendly meal planning, and how to adapt recipes to fit dietary restrictions or cultural preferences. We also explore the mental and emotional benefits of preparing and sharing homemade food.

Journaling 1,2,3

Journaling can be an incredibly empowering tool for self-reflection, particularly for those from marginalized communities who often lack spaces for safe expression. This guided program teaches different journaling techniques for stress management, goal setting, processing emotions, and building self-awareness. Participants will have opportunities for private journaling alongside group discussions about the power of the written word.

Discovering Me

This program is focused on building self-esteem and resilience in youth from marginalized backgrounds. Through facilitated discussions, creative activities, and mentorship, participants explore their unique strengths, talents, and aspirations. We create a supportive environment where young people can build confidence, develop a positive self-image, and envision a future where they reach their full potential.
