“Through a faith based approach we guide single moms and their children to healthy independence in the following ways: 1)by providing ongoing social support across economic circumstances, that meets single moms where they are at, seeks to establish a trusting and safe relational foundation, and increases the likelihood that healthy independent gains are maintained, 2) by increasing a woman's self-efficacy, self-esteem, and emotional iq through mentorship, small group courses, classes and leadership development, 3) by empowering women to create resilient households through identifying personal and circumstantial deficiencies and providing pathways for growth, 4) by providing residential and vocational opportunities that assist in improving the emotional and financial lives of women and their children, 5) by establishing resources, materials and educational modules that train communities and individual leaders on how to effectively assist and provide opportunities for single moms.”

“Mentorship 360 - begins with a personal story based approach, looking at lifelong patterns, personal strengths and areas that have prevented a woman from moving forward to healthy independence. Topics range from setting personal boundaries, finances, parenting, creating personal growth goals, vocational exploration and co-parenting issues. During their time with a mentor, a single mom will build a deeper relationship one on one, learning to advocate for her and her family, and begin to move forward in areas that she has been unable to before. Financial assessments are taken as part of the mentorship program. When there is a critical financial need present, a financial assist is given to help the family keep moving forward. Women who have mentored with single momm in the past have gone on to successfully obtain long term employment, entered into a vocational or collegiate program, regained custody of their children and have begun working toward financial independence. 954 families were served through mentorship 360 during the 2021-2022 fiscal year.”

“Event night: event nights are monthly gatherings that provide meals for both single moms and their children. Women take part in a shared meal and engage with a speaker or guided activity. Topics covered are professional development, parenting, household maintenance, physical health, emotional health, spiritual health, how to build healthy relationships, and the importance of doing life within community. Children take part in a shared meal, classes based on age groups and are poured into by community volunteers. Women attending these events build a trust base with single momm and then enter into mentorship, classes, and other services offered. Event nights increase a positive family culture and direct mom to child bonding. 353 women and 667 children were served during the 2021-2022 fiscal year.”
