Organization Information
Mission Statement
To empower youth and young adults to thrive by providing life enhancing programs that support self-reliance and break the cycle of trauma.
Description
We are an organization in its infancy that provides services to youth at Weaver Street Recreation Center. We offer three tailor-made programs: a STEAM-based Leadership Program, a healing-centered Mentoring Program and a monthly Very Impressive Person (VIP) Engagement event. Through our programs, we encourage our teens to recognize and utilize their strengths, establish robust and healthy relationships, and lay a solid groundwork for their personal development. This holistic approach ensures that they are equipped with the resilience and support system necessary to persist in their journey towards individual achievements and societal success. By shining light in dark places and uplifting young people, GRACED, Inc. is affording its youth participants a firm foundation to build from, one generation at a time. So far, we have been extremely successful in connecting and impacting the youth we serve.
