Our Story
Seasons of Change, Incorporated’s mission began in 2001 after the agencies founder conducted a community needs survey. The research uncovered an enormous lack of community support for vulnerable and marginalized youth. To fill this unmet need, the organization created an initiative called the Community Changers Project which was designed to provide an intervention that promotes improvement of the overall health and well-being of adolescents and adults.
Today, Seasons of Change operates as an independent 501(c)(3) organization. Since our founding, we have dramatically expanded our programming to include crisis intervention, transitional housing, pregnant and parenting teen services, counseling, education, and outreach to neglected, abused, and youth and adults.
Since 2001, Seasons of Change has had an open door to children, youth and families in crisis serving over 10,000 individuals in the last 2 years. By improving each client’s chances for long-term stability, Season of Change works to create pathways out of poverty for those most vulnerable in the communities we serve.
