Our Vision

We envision a Community where all child and adolescent residents whose behavioral development is at risk of delay have access to therapeutic intervention, special education, job skills training and supervised independent living to assist them in becoming independent, self-sufficient contributors to their Community.

Our Mission

We will mobilize the caring powers of northeast Tennessee and nearby areas to contribute positively to Community efforts to provide innovative professional programs and services to at-risk children and adolescents that treat, educate and train them to become independent, self-sufficient contributors to their Community. Specifically, we will:

Support the creation of “real-life” job experiences for at-risk individuals by 

(a) establishing and maintaining continuing relationships with business enterprises requiring varying levels of skilled labor, (b) advocating on behalf of at-risk individuals and those qualified nonprofit organization serving them, (c) assisting with necessary modifications to job skills trainings programs, and (d) sponsoring information exchanges between businesses and nonprofit organizations for the purpose of matching job opportunities and appropriately trained candidates for those opportunities; and

Solicit funds and make grants of financial assistance to qualified nonprofit organizations serving at-risk individuals.
