What We Do

We provide advocacy and Support to people in poverty and who have been incarcerated.  We offer the Partners In Change program which is designed to help individuals in a one on one setting, by assisting them to develop and achieve their life goals. We offer participants social-emotional support and act as a bridge in making connections to immediate needs, as well as developing life-changing skills.  The program has 3 phases, each phase lasting 60 days. The participant will meet one on one with a Fountain of Youth professional each week to see how they are progressing with their goals and what we can do to help. This program consists of each participant making an individual success plan that pertains to one of the following areas: knowledge of self and others, citizenship, basic life skills, education, health and wellbeing, financial literacy and workplace success. The program is a minimum of 60 days commitment and a maximum of 6 months.
