Our Mission and Goals
Project True GRIT (Garnering Readiness through Initiatives and Training) will work to strengthen life skills of youth transitioning from foster care into adulthood, bridging the gap from homelessness to permanent housing.
By providing opportunities for skill development, mentorship, and community integration, we empower foster youth to overcome adversity, seize opportunities, and build brighter futures for themselves and their communities.
We will aim to empower youth and young adults to deal effectively with the demands of everyday life by encompassing exercises to improve self-regulation, make informed decisions, and build supportive social relationships.
Our initiatives and training practices will harness skills such as resilience, leadership, kindness, conflict resolution, compassion, social and emotional problem-solving, and goal setting; all skills that will support molding youth into productive members of society.
It is through this collective effort that we can create a more equitable and inclusive future where all young people have the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances.
