We find those bright spots, people who have the desire to make a change but just need someone to support them with the belief it’s possible, and the resources to bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to go.

Our EMPOWER Process

We find those bright spots, people who have the desire to make a change but just need someone to support them with the belief it’s possible, and the resources to bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to go.

Once an area of need has been identified that is in keeping with our mission and vision, and is not serviced by other agencies, we follow our proprietary 7-step EMPOWER process to ensure project success:

  • Evaluate.

    Evaluate impact and sustainability

  • Meet.

    Meet with local stakeholders, listen to their needs & ideas and determine capacity for matching support

  • Partner.

    Partner with other charitable organizations if feasible

  • Optimize.

    Optimize indicators that will measure program effectiveness

  • Work.

    Work with an identified local project coordinator

  • Evaluate.

    Evaluate the success using our positive outcome measures

  • Replicate.

    Replicate successful projects in other communities
