We address immediate needs of safe housing, food, and clothing. Then we move on to the root causes by addressing the life skills needed, physical and mental health challenges, healing for past trauma, building coping and relationships skills. Our individualized, holistic mentoring approach addresses each young woman where she is at and walks beside her on her journey to a brighter future. Each woman works through her own Independence Plan gaining skills and meeting goals in a wide scope of areas including personal documents, employment skills, education, health care, mental health, finances, and parenting. Our goal is that upon completion, usually between 6-24 months, they will have the skills and confidence to independently provide for themselves and their children. We envision strong, thriving families supported by an empowered, career-minded parent.
Blossom's mission is to provide safe housing, one-on-one support and resources so former foster and at-risk young women ages 18-24 can learn the life skills, achieve the goals, and gain the confidence to blossom into who they are meant to be.
Volunteers, Funding: Unrestricted, general operations and specific programs
Our program is open to all young women. Many have lost touch with their culture during their time in foster care. We encourage them to re-engage and explore their roots. Our multi-ethnic staff is open to discussing feelings, concerns and better ways create diversity, equity and inclusion.
