We envision a world where everyone belongs to a safe and permanent family.
Our mission is to provide high-quality support and advocacy for children, adults, and families to develop and nurture safe, permanent relationships and maximize individual growth.
We believe that when individuals have the skills and resources that they need to be successful, and when they have a family in which to thrive, communities grow stronger. That is our core commitment central to who we are and everything that we do
Our Core Values
Dignity: We believe that every child and adult has inherent value and worth.
Respect: We respect the lived experiences and contributions of all participants, families, and staff; we are each the experts of our own life, and we support the goals each individual and family set for themselves.
Compassion: We strive to offer kindness, caring and a willingness to actively help one another grow in their skills, strengths, and goals. We believe that our community is stronger when we include opportunities for people with diverse identities, abilities, and experiences.
Hope: For 150 years, Bridges Homeward has worked to create safety and security for children and families. The agency has never given up and we never will. Participants, families, stakeholders, and community partners are invited and encouraged to do the same.
