OUR MISSION

FamilyNation invests in the future of our youth by helping to provide grants, leadership opportunities and services to youth and young adults within our community. We are a non-profit organization devoted to inspiring, empowering and motivating at risk youth and young adults to bring about positive change in their lives and communities by improving access to needed tools and programs.  We believe that building sustainable human development is the best we have in the fight against poverty and social equality.

Our services offer youth and young adults opportunities to participate in the world around them.  Whether they want to play in sports, learn a musical instrument, participate in a club, develop a new skill or become involved in activities that support their personal growth, and may not be afforded by them due to social, economic or environmental challenges; we assist in making these programs available.  Our services can be as simple as providing equipment and mentors or as complicated as finding reliable transportation to every event.  We are bridge builders.  We meet the needs of those who cannot meet those needs for themselves.  If you know a youth or young adult, from the ages of 6 to 24, who would benefit from our services, please make a referral today.

We at FamilyNation have a purpose. It is to enhance the lives of America's youth and young adults, one at a time. That is why we offer grants and scholarships throughout the country, providing opportunities for our youth and young adults to realize their full potential.

For those qualified applicants, FamilyNation grants them the opportunity to participate in  sporting events, experience outdoor recreation and fine arts, and enjoy any other activity that are approved and selected by the individual youth. Opportunities that may not be possible without the help of FamilyNation.

For a youth to be selected for approval they must meet simple criteria. Will the grant improve the quality of life of the individual?  Will the grant inspire, empower and motivate the youth to become a productive and fruitful member of the community?  FamilyNation is committed to the idea that even one adolescent or childhood experience may touch a child's life forever, building sustainable human development.

By granting opportunities for our youth we increase their self-esteem, confidence, self-worth while providing a positive and productive experience that they may bring with them throughout the rest of their lives.  The difference between success and failure in a person's life can be affected by the presence of positive intervention during childhood.

FamilyNation is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all participants of our programs and to ensuring that our organizations decisions are based on individual need. Consistent with this principle, it is our policy not to discriminate in offering access to our resources, programs and activities on the basis of race, color, gender, national origin, age, religion, creed, disability, veteran's status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.  This policy ensures that only relevant factors, such as genuine personal need are considered and that consistent standards of conduct and performance are applied when determining who we accept as a program recipient.
