HELPING FAMILIES FORWARD
HELPING FAMILIES FORWARD
Promoting family stabilization through a series of processes that spur growth towards a more mentally, emotionally, physically, economically, and socially balanced lifestyle.
Rebuilding communities, one family at a time, by implementing wellbeing practices into home, work, and school environments. Housing connection supports family stabilization and leads to overall wellness.
Weaving a wellness network around families to ensure they have the capacity to withstand, and recover quickly from, difficulties that may arise in the days to come.
To mitigate the impact of poverty for marginalized families by providing services which help them overcome the barriers that prevent them from moving forward.
We seek transformation of under-resourced communities by changing the lives of families within.
We strive toward ending the cycle of poverty by creating productive families dedicated to building strong lives and rebuilding even stronger communities.
We employ a series of powerful initiatives to achieve the vision and mission of the organization.
StandUP! For Change began as a small neighborhood improvement group of residents dissatisfied with the state of inner city communities.
Focused on making a difference, the resolute residents focused on providing for the direct needs of their fellow community members; devoting their endeavors toward the homeless and chronically impoverished neighborhoods.
As volunteers continuously addressed the immediate needs of the marginalized, the ever-increasing call resounded. This realization acted as an impetus to formally establish StandUP! For Change as a non-profit organization in 2012 and receive tax-exempt status from the IRS.
The work has been consistent and we remain persistent in our endeavors to break down systemic barriers to achieve lasting change.
