The Journey Starts With Strengthening and Empowering People.

Hands to Hold is a private for-profit organization that focuses on strengthening families by implementing a community and family-based approach that builds on community relationships. Our goal and purpose are to prepare, educate, and support youth and families in underserved communities to help them become self-sufficient advocates to better support their living conditions and outcomes.

Equity and equality should be a privilege for all people no matter what the age, gender identity, differing ability or economic status. Hands to Hold LLC will help provide the tools, knowledge and skills so that our consumers can navigate all aspects of life as independently as possible and be confident while doing so. We hope to change the minds and hearts of people we come into contact with one by one to eventually make this community an all-inclusive community where everyone sees each other as equals.

We feel this can be achieved by being a strong community partner and collaboration with other likeminded organizations and stakeholders. The journey starts with strengthening and empowering people to become more resilient and aware to the world around them.

Keys To Successful Living

Whether it’s your personal or professional life, be driven by the innate desire to be the best you can be. No excuses. Finding a mentor to guide you through uncertain territory can instill confidence, but, ultimately, your growth as a leader will come from within.

Taking the good with the bad and finding a way to push through adversity is a normal part of our lives. Although misfortune is usually a challenge to deal with, it builds character and you’ll be that much stronger once the storm is over.

The more time you put into doing something, chances are the better you will become. Passion is 100% required in order to excel and get to the top of whatever your goals are. Education helps keep you there. Focus on value added things and grow.
