The vision of The Jacaranda Center for Family and Youth Development is to help families thrive, one household at a time.
The mission is to build strong, nurturing and thriving families that love, support and equip their members to live successful, resilient lives that positively impact the world.
The Goal is to utilize effective programs and strategies to help adults and youth thrive in five areas: Identity, Relationships, Purpose, Wholeness, and Service.
We believe that by focusing on these strategic areas of life, built upon a foundation of strong families, intentional parenting, life-long mentoring and economic stability, all families and youth can THRIVE.
In keeping with these goals, The Jacaranda Center offers a myriad of programs including; consulting services, training events, mentoring and community service opportunities designed to strengthen families and empower youth.
