Strengthening Communities: A Collaboration Between Steven's Wings and A Haven
As the Executive Director of Steven's Wings, an organization dedicated to empowering youth through transformative travel experiences, I recently had the privilege of meeting Michelle Noble, the Executive Director of A Haven, a haven for grieving children and families. Our meeting was serendipitous, as it led to the discovery of a shared mission and a potential collaboration between our organizations.
A Haven provides invaluable support to grieving children and families, offering a family-centered approach to navigating grief. Their focus on empowering families to walk through grief together aligns perfectly with Steven's Wings' mission to empower youth through transformative experiences. Research has shown that the way parents and guardians grieve significantly impacts how children navigate their own grief. By equipping families with the tools and support they need, A Haven helps create a healthy environment for grieving children to heal.
During our meeting, Michelle graciously invited me to attend A Haven's open house on March 20th in Exton. This provided me with the opportunity to walk through their facility, learn more about their programs, and witness firsthand the incredible work they do to support grieving children and families. Michelle and I discussed the possibility of collaborating to extend support to the youth we both serve.
One exciting prospect of our collaboration is the potential to offer Steven's Wings scholarships to youth who have experienced loss and are attending A Haven. These scholarships would provide them with the opportunity to participate in our transformative travel experiences, allowing them to explore new cultures, build resilience, and find solace in the beauty of the world.
At Steven's Wings, we believe in the power of travel to broaden horizons, foster personal growth, and provide healing experiences. By joining forces with A Haven, we aim to extend this transformative power to grieving youth, offering them a beacon of hope and a path to healing.
As we embark on this journey of collaboration, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to work alongside Michelle and the team at A Haven. Together, we can strengthen our communities, support grieving children and families, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of youth who need it most.
