Most of us were fortunate enough to grow up knowing we could count on the guidance and support of our parents. They helped us with homework, drove us to and from after school activities, assisted with our first job applications, and perhaps most importantly, they were there to give us a hug when the growing pains of life seemed overwhelming. It is through such unconditional love that we learn to believe in ourselves and reach for our wildest dreams.
Many youth transition out of foster care and enter adulthood without the emotional and financial resources most of us had in our young adult lives. Instead of dreaming for a future that is bright, emancipated youth worry about securing a safe place to call home and earning the next paycheck to cover food and gas.
The Serpentine Project aims to even the playing field. We believe each and every youth has the right to dream big and achieve greatness. We strive to provide our youth with the right tools and resources needed to set goals, eliminate obstacles and ultimately reach their dreams.
I am committed. Every person associated with this foundation is equally committed. Our board and small staff give time, energy and resources because they believe that together we can make a difference - we can change one life at a time.
