Enrichment Programs

Building Life Skills and Emotional Well Being

The Foundation provides enrichment funds for the children placed in the protective custody of the Shelter.  While government funds cover basic living expenses—food, shelter, clothing—there are no funding streams for the little “extras” that address their emotional and skills development needs.  Especially during this time of their lives, the little things like birthday and holiday  parties, arts and crafts programs, outings to the movies and sports events, prom dresses and tuxedos, and educational field trips all go a long way to strengthen these kid’s self esteem, identify new interests and skills and improve their overall emotional well being.
