Preventing homelessness and providing transitional planning to youth and adults in or formerly was in out-of-home placement (foster, adoptive, group and kinship care) ages 14-28 years old is our top priority. Storm Center of Hope & Service, Inc. is committed to building a restored sense of hope, self-empowerment, and self-assurance in our adolescence, focusing on their inner capacity and self-esteem as a supportive partner in society. The key goal of the Storm Center of Hope & Service is to elevate our pillars Set-apart, Together, Overcomers, Resilience and Mindfulness, with an emphasis on the infinite possibilities of their future.
Numerous elements harm our adolescents' minds and add to their lack of expectations, low desires, and low confidence. Time after time, our young people don't have the foggiest sense of what their identity is, they later become the victim of a negative circumstance, and they don't see the overwhelming capacity inside to succeed and prosper in their everyday lives.
Even though child rearing and encouraging feedback begins at home, many of our childhood are hindered in such manner. Their absence of mindfulness makes weaknesses and negative empowering influences that impact their lives. Secondary school dropouts, downtown killings, drugs, pregnancy, homelessness and suicides are expanding at fast rates among young people.
Storm Center of Hope & Service will stress discipline, confidence, modesty, and regard for others as the main guiding principle for our childhood. These fundamental beliefs will be reinforced by cooperation, commitment, and ingenuity.
Education generally tends to focus on career opportunities, but education is so much more than that. In most cases, anyone who has an opportunity to acquire a good education will have a much better chance of succeeding in life. However, learning life skills, which include personal and career development, enhances, and promotes abilities that allow individuals to shape their own lives positively, successfully and constructively while learning to deal with difficult times that occur. Ultimately, this reduces or prevents ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) along the way. The (World Health Organization) views the following skills and abilities as essential: self-awareness, empathy, creative and critical thinking, decision making, problem-solving, effective communication, interpersonal skills, the ability to deal with one's emotions and the ability to cope with stress. STORM’s initiative is to provide programs to support the whole person either through direct service or referrals, while utilizing programs that are measurable and interactive.

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
- Isaiah 40:28-31
