Mission Statement
IBOUNCE UP empowers individuals facing adversity by cultivating effective mindsets, enabling them to overcome life's challenges and embrace lasting change.
About This Cause
IBOUNCE UP, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in August 2023, is dedicated to empowering individuals facing adversity by teaching "The Five Research-Based Pillars of Resilience": Awareness, Control, Optimism, Flexibility, and Relationships. Additionally, we educate on "The Ten Accompanied Skills": Event/Thought/Outcome (E.T.O.), Detecting Beliefs, Goal Setting, Diaphragmatic Breathing, Happiness, Growth Mindset, Confirmation Bias, Problem Understanding, Assertive Communication, and Productive Responding. We offer in-person and online workshops for resource caregivers, as well as teens and adults in addiction recovery and other underserved communities. The training programs at IBOUNCE UP were created by the founder, Andrew Pierce, and co-founder, Lauralee Pierce. Lauralee has experienced the devastating impact of addiction firsthand, having lost several family members to this battle. Witnessing the mental hardships addiction imposes on individuals and their families, she firmly believes that equipping people with the necessary tools and tactics to build resilience can empower them to navigate life's challenges successfully. IBOUNCE UP has collaborated with various organizations, including CASA Hawaii, community colleges mentoring resource caregivers, Epic Ohana helping foster children who have aged out of the system, the Bobby Benson Rehabilitation Center for teens, Makana O Ke Akua for men in recovery, FAKCE Grossmont College for at-risk youth and adults; and other sober living houses. These partnerships have enabled IBOUNCE UP to reach underserved communities, particularly caregivers and individuals in addiction recovery, providing them with the tools they need to build mental resilience and thrive. IBOUNCE UP’s board of directors comprises highly motivated and accomplished individuals with strong backgrounds in the field. The board includes members with diverse educational backgrounds, including master’s degrees, marriage and family studies, sociology, and expertise as educators and mentors in the Foster, Adoptive & Kinship Care Education Program. By sharing their stories and dedicating their expertise to the cause, the board of directors has created a supportive network through IBOUNCE UP, committed to fostering resilience and empowering individuals to overcome life's challenges. In just its first year, IBOUNCE UP has earned notable recognition and formed strategic partnerships to maximize its impact. The organization is proud to be one of 279 member-nonprofits of the Hawaii Alliance of Nonprofit Organizations and among the 60 nonprofits in Hawaii to have earned Candid’s 2024 Platinum Transparency Seal. These accolades reflect the organization's commitment to transparency and excellence. Since its inception, the organization has made significant strides in its mission. IBOUNCE UP has collaborated with five organizations, completed 19 training sessions, reached 227 individuals, and delivered 633 hours of resilience training. These achievements have been made possible through the support of partners who share the organization's values.
