Project Title: Career Pathways to Independence
Project Description:

The Village is a 40-bed group home facility that opened its doors in May, 2004 to provide a safe haven for abused youth. Youth, ages 12 to 17, are removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect. Hibiscus Children’s Village was founded to provide children a safe haven that was built on love, nurturing and encouragement with all efforts to help boys and girls have a bright and successful future. The Career Pathways to Independence program supports our mission by expanding foster youth’s horizons, helping them reach their full potential. This educational program provides individualized assistance to children whose traumatic experiences have virtually halted the educational process.
