WE BELIEVE

There are three ways to support and empower change in a community: relief, rehabilitation, and development.

Through an evidence-based development strategy, I Pour Life programs provide an opportunity for longterm, sustainable change for the individual and the greater community. With the right opportunities and influence, I Pour Life believes anyone can thrive.

EVIDENCE-BASED DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

LifeStrengths

LifeStrengths is an evidenced based, positive youth development program for older foster and at-risk youth who are exiting the foster care system or living in generational poverty. These populations have consistently been identified as the most at-risk for unemployment, lower income earnings, homelessness, and teenage pregnancy compared to their peers. I Pour Life’s LifeStrengths program uses one-on-one LifeCoaching as a tool to successfully transition youth from government dependence to a state of self-sufficiency in a culture of family that they never age out of.
