Inspire
(Care Coordination – TEAM DAD)
INSPIRE was established in January 2016 as a 501(c)(3) organization. Our goal is to equip, empower, transition, and transform fathers and young men, 10 — 23 years old, into independent and self-sufficient adults through one-on-one and group mentoring of life skills. INSPIRE was created in response to the increasing number of young fathers and young men who lack self-sufficiency skills for independent adulthood. Our targeted mentoring program is specifically tailored for at-risk and underserved, fathers and young men.
Our Mission: To instill independence and integrity in young men and young fathers by empowering them to achieve life goals, fulfill purpose through faith, and impact hope for their future.
OUR PURPOSE
- To Transform Lives!
- To empower future leaders with faith and integrity
- To develop young fathers who will positively impact their families and their communities
- To ensure that every young man who graduates from our programs will be positioned for success
