Give Something Back supports students who have faced significant adversities, guiding them toward long-term success in a safe and caring community. We focus on young people who have experienced the child welfare system, homelessness, traumatic crimes, the incarceration of a parent, and/or other significant adversities (four or more Adverse Childhood Experiences). We provide long-term, professional coaches and courses equipping students to graduate high school, enroll in a postsecondary education (college, community college, or vocational/technical program), secure financial aid, complete their education, and get a job in their chosen profession. Coaches meet with each student twice a month, serving as a personal mentor, helping them create and update Student Action Plans, and teaching our monthly evidence-based, trauma-informed courses on building economic stability, resiliency and relational wealth. For many of Give Something Back's students, their coach is one of the only stable, consistent relationships they have with a supportive adult across the full span of these transitions. While most programs are designed to be a part of young people's lives for a few years, we commit to them for the long-haul.
