“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. Mentorship 360 includes one-on-one mentorship, acquire classes, the no more crazy process, and arrise. -one-on-one mentorship: during their time with a mentor, a single mom will build a trust-based relationship built on mutual respect. A mentor will meet a woman wherever she is at, invite her to share story, and then walk with her, guiding her to advocate for the needs of her family, move forward in areas she has been stuck in, and open-up tangible possibilities to help her family flourish. -acquire classes: in a small group setting a mentor will meet with 6-8 single moms. Each acquire class is created within single momm or taught by an area professional to address issues that typically threaten to holdback a single mom from thriving. Topics include how to establish margin in life, time management, proactive parenting, how to create income streams, creating healthy community, establishing a will and end of life plan, and how to manage all the to dos in the single mom life. -no more crazy process: this is an organizational guide for contested court situations. Single momm does not give legal advice, we help prepare a single mom to layout her story, happenings, and proofs in court or for an attorney. Many times, when trauma has been present a woman struggles to cohesively articulate what has happened, this process aids them in doing this. In our 2023-2024 fiscal year, 894 single moms participated in mentorship 360.”
