Project Title: Every Kid’s Backyard
Project Description:

Trinity’s Youth Mentoring Program is uniquely located on a 67-acre horse ranch, established with the mission to empower local young people through positive inspiration and guidance to help reach their goals. We are a family-owned 501c3 non-profit that has been providing Mental Health Services, Youth Mentoring, and Skills Workshops for over 20 years. We serve children in 16 Wisconsin counties who are in at-risk environments, have specific mental health needs, and/or who are survivors of abuse, violence, trauma, significant mental health struggles, and more. Trinity provides evidence-based Daily Living Skills Training by professional Mentors and is clinically supervised by a Wisconsin Licensed Professional Counselor. Our program is community-based and contracts with local Human & Family Services agencies to create treatment plans and recovery goals to best serve each individual Mentee. Trinity currently has 69 Youth Mentors working in our community servicing 103 youth, ages 5-18, and another 68 individuals on our waitlist to receive services.

To better children who do not have access to a safe place to run and play, dig in the dirt, and throw a football or baseball, we want to provide our at-risk youth with a high-energy environment where they can learn how to maintain a mentally healthy lifestyle. Our goal is to transform and improve an unused horse pasture into a safe, kid-friendly, skill-building environment, including an adaptive garden area and a kickball field. A complete handicap-accessible playground will engage our children in services while helping them to cultivate new skills, such as positive communication, emotional regulation, and social awareness, and do so in a safe space while engaging in one-on-one Mentoring. With the worldwide shift towards preserving our mental wellbeing, teaching healthy coping skills to young kids and teenagers has never been more important.

Project Title: Children’s Services to Independence Program (CSTI)
Project Description:

CSTI ensures that BVI youth participate in essential therapeutic, recreational, and educational programs to maximize their development and independence. CSTI in Broward County serves 94 BVI children under 13 and their parents. There are 35 kids in the LHOB Bright Beginnings Early Intervention Program, ranging from baby to five. The LHOB’s KIDS (Keys to Independence) Program is helping the remaining 59 kids aged 6 to 13.

Infants and toddlers develop the ability to use their remaining senses and vision (hearing, touch, taste, smell, and proprioceptive). Play therapy addresses various issues, including cognitive knowledge, communication, assistive technology, and compensatory skills. Moreover, instructors instruct students in sociability, personal hygiene, and fine and gross motor skills. For each client, our staff conducts exams and creates an individualized education plan.
Older kids aged 6 to 13 participate in year-round programming on non-school days, on Saturdays, and throughout the summer. During classroom-style sessions, academic enrichment (tutoring), field trips, and recreational activities, they are taught safe travel practices, age-appropriate cooking and self-care skills, Braille, computer and adaptive communication device use, polite social interaction, self-determination, and self-advocacy using national, evidence-based Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC). STEAM elements are incorporated year-round into activities and education. Our experienced Teachers of the Visually Impaired provide our KIDS program one-on-one and in small groups.

Services include the equipment needed for social and educational progress. Many of the kids in the CSTI program have multiple disabilities. According to the School Board of Broward County, there has been a significant upward trend of children with blindness and visual impairment (BVI) who present with co-occurring disorders, including the spectrum of chronic developmental disabilities. As a result, BVI children who seek our services are excluded from their school’s Visually Impaired Program. For these kids, CSTI fills the gap between academic success and overall success in life.

Project Title: Power Up!
Project Description:

The YGIG is a middle school after-school and summer program for youth in grades 6 – 8. We provide a safe, fun learning environment where participants are able personalize their experience through academic, arts/humanities, college/career, health/wellness and STEM programming. We are located within a state of the art YMCA building in downtown Wilson, North Carolina. We want to provide Power Up! academic self-paced learning/support to our students in need and connect that with programming that piques their interest and makes them excited about learning. We have community support and many providers are donating their expertise and time to provide diverse programs. We do have a need for funding to support programming that is trauma-informed and there are providers that are not able to donate their time and require compensation. Transportation from each student’s school of origin is provided and the programs operate on a sliding scale with scholarship opportunities. Y-GIG is where youth gather, interact & grow; we are committed to serving youth and families in our community and work closely with Wilson County Schools; our youth coordinators have office hours in each public middle school. We are investing in our future leaders with the intent of seeing all children do their best, be excited about lifelong learning and explore new, fun interests. Through grant support we will be able to more fully meet their needs by offering stipends to providers, plan field trips, ensure we have adequate supplies, and purchase the software needed to provide the academic support some our students need. Middle school years can be challenging for parents and youth and it is our intention to tailor the Y-GIG program to meet the needs of our participants. We regularly gather feedback from our parents and students and make adjustments to our programming.

Project Title: Youth Mentorship Program
Project Description:

Our Youth Mentorship Program is completely free and has been serving children ages 10-18 on the Big Island of Hawaii since 2012. Mainly targeting underprivileged and hurting kids from a variety of difficult life situations, we pair each child with a horse and one-on-one mentor for a term of five weekly sessions. We offer six of these terms annually and will host at least 100 children, not including fill-ins, this coming year. We use horsemanship practice combined with principles of Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy to address the personal wellbeing of each participant by offering love, encouragement, and the horse’s calming presence. The horse provides nonjudgmental feedback about each child’s relational patterns, and this creates a way to visibly see the effects of boundary-setting, self-regulation, and growth of confidence, leadership, and other character-related skills. We want each child to increase their resilience and self-empowerment through working with the horse to overcome both internal and external obstacles, and our overall mission is to build confidence, develop leadership, and provide trauma-informed care for the community.

We measure program success through a character trait self-assessment completed at the beginning and end of the term. We also have participants fill out a reflection form to offer any thoughts or feedback, and we talk with parents about how their child is doing. Family involvement is important to us, and we have a dedicated family viewing area and volunteers who spend their time connecting with parents, siblings, and other relatives. We have partnered with a variety of local youth and mental health organizations over the years, and have served foster children, those with incarcerated or deceased parents, and victims of trauma and bullying, as well as youth suffering from anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other mental health issues. We plan for our program to continue indefinitely.

Project Title: Concrete Rose
Project Description:

The Neighborhood LYFE program like The Charles and Joan Hermanowski Family Foundation serves marginalized communities, including young people and individuals facing challenges due to social injustices such as poverty, discrimination, and limited access to resources and opportunities. Our focus is on people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, and others who may be marginalized in their communities.

The problem we are solving is the social injustices that these communities face, which lead to inequities in education, employment, and overall quality of life. Through the Neighborhood LYFE program, we aim to address these injustices by providing resources and support to help these communities create positive change in their neighborhoods.

One of the ways we are addressing these challenges is by taking young people school shopping. This may seem like a small action, but it can have a significant impact on their lives. For many young people in marginalized communities, access to resources like school supplies and new clothes can be a struggle. By taking them shopping, we can provide them with the tools they need to succeed in school, boost their confidence, and help them feel supported and valued.

In addition to school shopping, the Neighborhood LYFE program offers community events, mentorship, job training, and other resources to help individuals and communities thrive. We believe that by empowering these communities, we can create lasting change and improve the lives of children and young adults living in the United States. Through the support of The Charles and Joan Hermanowski Family Foundation, we are committed to making a meaningful impact and transforming the lives of those we serve.
