We are on a mission to empower young adults aged sixteen to twenty-one experiencing homelessness in Waldo County by providing these services:
PEX Visa Card Project
prepaid cards for essentials.
Driving School Support
up to $600.
Youth Outreach Specialist:
When young adults seek financial assistance, our Youth Outreach Specialist meets with them to verify their identities and assess their needs. Along with providing a prepaid Visa card, the specialist shares information about resources that the young adults may not be aware of.
Many young adults also reach out to the Youth Outreach Specialist on behalf of others whom they believe could benefit from this assistance.
But Still I Am One's Host Home Project links young adults with host families for temporary housing. Additionally, we provide the hosts with expense reimbursement of up to $300 and offer case management support to both the hosts and the young adults.
The old man chuckled aloud, “Son, there are thousands of starfish and only one of you. What difference can you make?”
The boy picked up a starfish, gently tossed it into the water and turning to the man, said, “I made a difference to that one!”
Our Mantra
"I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still, I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something I can do."
