OUR THREE PILLARS

We have a three-pronged approach to helping end homelessness. First, we aim to understand the true problem by immersing ourselves in truly understanding what it meanst to be homeless so we can best emphathize with the people we serve. Second, we work with partner organizations to host medical camps and health fairs to provide free screenings and education on important illnesses that affect homeless people more frequently than the average person. Third, we try to create sustainable solutions using social entrepreneurship to leverage people's strengths into ways they can lift themselves into better positions and more secure futures.

IMMERSION
PILLAR

The Immersion pillar works to provide our volunteers with a more realistic understanding of what it means to be homeless. These programs stress how to empathize with the homeless rather than just sympathize with them.
