Beyond The Board

Although the world has changed, our mission remains the same: leaving a lasting impact on the lives of children by addressing their physical, mental, and emotional needs with quality care and compassion.

While the changing world has certainly allowed us to adapt in the way we empower our youth, our young people are determined not to be stopped. We have developed a new hybrid model. One that helps us reach more stormers than ever, from all over the globe, at a time when their families need it most.

You are a critical part of our work and impact and we hope that you will join the movement in helping us provide the support our youth need now.
