Unleashing Potential - Mission Moment

On Sunday, January 11 we welcomed back Darlene Sowell, President and CEO of Unleashing Potential for a Mission Moment. Unleashing Potential's mission is to close the opportunity gap for children regardless of their economic circumstances, race, or zip code by building on their strengths.

She shared that at the end of this summer the difficult decision was made to close the direct care early childhood education program at Caroline Mission. Several factors combined to make this program no longer financially sustainable. Their focus has shifted to parent engagement services to continue to support families. Strengthening Resilient Families is a program that prioritizes educating parents about ways to advocate for themselves and their children.

Flexibility and collaboration have been essential parts of fulfilling the mission of Unleashing Potential in the last year. UP relies on and greatly values their many partner non-profits in the area that allow them to meet the varied needs of their families.

Your giving to the St. Lucas UCC general fund helps us continue to support the important work Unleashing Potential is doing for families in our community.
