A Safe Place to Land:
Building Hope for Generations
The vision of Elev8 Villages is to see youth who have experienced the foster system thriving in their future lives, no longer needing government assistance, and actively contributing to make the world a better place. These young adults will know the value of belonging, be empowered to lead meaningful lives, and be engaged in their communities, breaking cycles of neglect and poverty while fostering hope and positive change.
From UNCERTAINTY TO...
A Safe Place to Belong!
Elev8 Villages is addressing the multifaceted challenges faced
by youth aging out of the foster care system.
Our comprehensive solution focuses on meeting both external and internal needs to foster stability, growth, and a sense of belonging.
External Needs:
Housing: Each youth is provided with their own fully furnished and equipped tiny home, offering privacy, ownership, and responsibility.
Transportation: Recognizing the importance of independence, we offer driving classes, assistance in obtaining a driver's license, and support in acquiring a vehicle when needed.
Education: We guide our youth through finishing high school and continuing their education—be it university, community college, or trade school—and offer support such as books, computers, and tutoring.
Employment: Additionally, we assist in job placement and teach work ethics and entrepreneurial skills.
Internal Needs:
Life Skills: Our robust curriculum covers essential skills like laundry, banking, self-advocacy, budgeting, shopping, cooking, and gardening.
Community: We foster deep, meaningful connections, addressing the desire for relational permanency that many youth who've endured the foster system long for.
Mentorship: We encourage members of the surrounding community to become mentors, while facilitating events and classes to encourage healthy bonds and friendships.
Belonging: Our villages are created intentionally to encourage connection and community. Our villages welcome those who choose to live tiny with us, promoting an environment of mutual growth and inspiration.
