Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Endeavors seeks to provide comprehensive, effective and innovative services that empower people to build better lives for themselves, their families, and their communities. We serve our clients by providing services that target homelessness, unemployment, child abuse, disabilities, mental health, childcare, education, disasters, self-sufficient living, and counseling. Endeavors unifies families torn apart by poverty, unemployment or neglect providing real, practical solutions and a path to earned income and autonomy.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Families receive counseling, crisis intervention, case management, homeless prevention services, parent training, practical life skills, and vocational support, training and employment. We provide services through many programs, several of which focus on homeless individuals, families, and Veterans.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Endeavors has 53 years of experience serving the community with best practices for homeless and disabled adults, at-risk children and youth, national disaster relief, and Veterans in crisis. We have experience leveraging public, private, and corporate resources to assist people in crisis, and we have built a reputation on collaboration in order to expand our services. We have demonstrated expertise in working with all of the populations we serve and we understand that a community-wide support system is crucial in order for our clients to believe in themselves, belong to a community, and become the person they aspire to be.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
