Apathy and lack of trust in at-risk communities impact the ability to immediately launch critical life skills training. Therefore, our approach is grounded in the development of relationships. As the relationship deepens, we will be better positioned to educate, train, and empower leaders in a more deliberate way. Additionally, at the heart of our programs will be the needs of the residents. Through needs assessments and voice of the residents, we will partner with them to design, identify, or administer programs that will transition and sustain their communities.
