HELP Program at St. Francis de Sales

Our Karma funds for March will be donated to the HELP program at St Francis de Sales. The goal of the HELP Program is to provide services that support at-risk and marginalized young adults ages 16 to 30 years of age. HELP attempts to aid and guide these individuals out of poverty, dangerous environments and possible homeless conditions. HELP is designed to address systemic issues of chronic poverty, low educational achievements, cycles of criminal activities and homelessness while seeking to empower individuals to change the course of their lives through counseling, training, mentoring, legal assistance and job placement.

Core Change Cincinnati

CoreChange is a community-wide effort to bring together improbable partners to co-create solutions that unleash the possibilities of the urban core.

The primary strategy for accomplishing this is an integrated compendium of:
• Tools
• Methodologies
• Practices
• Skills
that will transform even the most challenged neighborhoods into “learning organizations,” and our region into learning communities of practice groups of people who continually enhance their capacity to create the future, they truly desire and want to create; where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people, all stakeholders, are continually learning to see the whole together.
