Project Title: Workforce Development/Educational Assistance
Project Description:
The Well offers free food and drinks to the youth in our community along with multiple entertainment options. We offer an art corner, music, group activities, fundraising and community service opportunities.
Our goal has always been to provide a safe, fun, and grace-filled atmosphere. We help the kids believe in a better future for themselves and assist them in creating it. The Well strives to encourage the youth in our community to find their true potential. We offer basic human services such as food, shelter, warmth, supplies, etc. We help the youth become career and future minded, focusing on educational help, community service and being a part of something bigger. The Well wants kids to have vibrant lives that change the outcome of the individuals around them.
We are open currently Thursdays and Fridays 3-6. This facility offers kids a place to go for food, grace, shelter, entertainment, questions and purpose, productive activities, and educational assistance. We are also open on Tuesdays for a girls club focusing on mental, emotional and physical health. On Thursdays we have also started a Skate Club encouraging the kids to get outside and try something new.
We offer free food and drinks to the youth in our community. Our community has an ample amount of low-income families. Many of the kids in these families do not know where their next meal will come from outside of school. One girl shared with us recently that she does not really have food in her home and has gone days-weeks without it beside at school or work. We want them to be able to count on The Well for food security. Currently Thursdays and Fridays our doors are open with snacks and meals provided to the youth in our community, free of charge, no questions asked.
