Our mission is to assist and support individuals with firsthand experience navigating child serving systems and improve the well-being conditions of local communities.
We work hand in hand with individuals who have firsthand experience navigating child-serving systems to create meaningful and lasting improvements. Our focus is on equipping both individuals and organizations with the tools, leadership development, and advocacy support needed to create sustainable, community-led solutions.
We ensure that those who have directly navigated child-serving systems have a seat at the table in shaping solutions. We believe that real change happens when lived experience leaders are actively involved in decision-making, advocacy, and system reform efforts. By providing leadership development, self-advocacy support, and resources, we empower individuals to influence policies and practices that impact their communities.
Equipping those directly impacted by child-serving systems with the knowledge, skills, and support they need to effectively navigate and influence these systems. By fostering self-advocacy, individuals gain the confidence to voice their needs, challenge barriers, and contribute to meaningful change. At the same time, their firsthand experiences provide invaluable insights that help identify gaps, inform better policies, and drive real-time improvements within systems.
A facilitated curriculum developed by lived experience aimed to support leadership development that is dedicated to strengthening systems change knowledge for lived experience partners.
Helping communities develop community access pathways for engagement to systems change efforts, so that those who have experienced the involvement of systems are equal partners in community well-being solutions.
Supporting individuals who are currently navigating systems so that they can better advocate for themselves and their families. This helps us better understand the current conditions of the system and problem solve real time.
