Mission Statement
A Precious Child provides children in need with opportunities and resources to empower them to achieve their full potential.
About This Cause
We envision a future where every child grows up to be a secure, self-reliant, contributing member of their community. In order to achieve our mission, we collaborate with more than 500 Agency Partners, including schools, hospitals, health and human services, shelters and foster care providers. The children referred to A Precious Child are dealing with poverty, homelessness, foster care placements, abuse or neglect or have been identified as being at-risk. Through services and wraparound Cradle to Career Initiatives, A Precious Child provides these children with the tools they need to ensure they have a successful future. CRADLE TO CAREER INITIATIVES FAMILY STABILITY The Empowerment Resource Center offers holistic family services aimed at guiding and supporting children and families as they work towards achieving self-sufficiency.
