Who We Are
Our history
Power in Change was founded by someone of the community members who experienced the hardship and recognized the need for a local organization dedicated to helping homeless individuals, juveniles, and youths in need of guidance. Since then, we have grown into action, serving our communities with tailored services that strike hard into the problems we face. Power in Change is on a mission for change focusing on the young people who are struggling in school, being imprisoned, homeless and battling mental health issues.
Who Benefits?
Power in Change is for young men and women who are in low-income communities and have dropped out of school. Those starting down the wrong path are often looking for a second chance but because some of them have made bad choices they cannot pass background checks to get into craft and skill schools. Our program will help them get those skills and be better people in the community. We will work to place them with contractors in the city and private contractors to train them in skills to help them be successful citizens.
Transforming Lives, One Child at a Time
Why We Exist
I am so tired of seeing the young people failing, ending up in jail or dying before their time. My vision is to see them have more opportunities to grow, learn, become better citizens and entrepreneurs. Power in Change will offer young people a second chance and we will work to change the old ways of just putting young people in jail or the graveyard. The program will last a year, with pre-evaluations every six months on how they are adjusting, and hopefully make whatever adjustments needed to prepare them for their ninety-day evaluation.
