Mission Statement
Future Ties creates safe spaces for youth at our after school program during the times that are most prevalent to our youth to become victims or offenders of crime and disorder. Future Ties keep youth and teens off the streets during hours that crime, violence, and trauma take place by engaging them in programs that interest them. We have a teen workforce development program to support our teens to earn a paycheck and getting them workforce ready to compete for future employment opportunities. We also support teens looking to seek higher education. Through our parent program, Future Ties are changing the mindset of parents to become leaders of their households as well as leaders in their community.
About This Cause
Future Ties is an after school and summer camp program that provides educational, recreational, cultural experiences and opportunities throughout the year. We operate 4 hours a day (Monday-Friday) and provide valuable resources and opportunities that are not accessible to the residents or youth that live in Parkway Gardens Apartments, a low income housing complex and the surrounding community. We are Building capacity through our food, health, nutrition and workforce training. Our professional development workshops provide tools and skills that both the youth and their parents can use and build upon to be sustainable healthy families. We are in our 4th year with our parent mentoring program. We are inside of 4 elementary schools supporting the teachers inside the classroom. On Fridays, our parents participate in workshops that will strengthen their self esteem and set goals for their futures. We understand that in order for the child in the home to be safe, we must make sure that the family is safe. Mother's are usually the foundation of many of these households and they burn the candle on both ends to make it happen. We must assist the parents to mend and patch up the wholes in their households that inhibit them from moving forward and having dreams too.
