The 18-30 year old age range is the most underserved
population in the community. Many organizations are youth-focused and once
students reach the age of 18, their program opportunities diminish and as a
result, they are often forgotten. Within this age group there are various subgroups
with various needs: high school graduates, first generation college students,
young single moms, previously incarcerated individuals…the list could go on and
on. Our hope is that in building a cohort around each subgroup, we can meet
their needs more effectively while building support around them.
The first cohort we will be launching is LiveAble:Women. We
plan to launch an additional three cohorts later this year.
Many young moms in our community find themselves financially
stuck and without the resources necessary to escape their hardships. It is our
hope that through LiveAble:Women, they will be able to receive support in
thriving financially, gaining a foothold in the community, and cultivating
success for their children.
Our plan is to collaborate with other organizations serving
young moms in the community to ensure that all their needs are being met. We
will launch the cohort mid-March, and have an informational meeting planned for
potential cohort members the last week in February. Interested in ways to serve
these young moms? Click here.
