Empowering the Community to Be SEEN, HEARD, AND TO ACT Our Focus at the EmpowerTHEM Collective is to provide community members with the necessary tools to have a seat at the table, to advocate for and initiate change and to develop economic power through entrepreneurship.

Growing Home transforms families by nurturing children, strengthening families, and creating community. Our vision is to see the community working together so all children and their families have a place to call home, food on the table, and the opportunity to pursue their dreams.

HBCU Outside's mission is to see more Black faces running trails, climbing mountains, and sitting at outdoor industry boardroom tables. We help HBCU students and alumni enjoy the natural world and become the leaders we need for a healthy planet and a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive outdoor industry.

Our mission is to break the generational cycle of poverty for Latino immigrants and their families by lifting barriers to their success. We believe that everyone has the right to achieve their dreams. Every day, we partner with Latino immigrants and their families to best meet their needs and support their goals — from putting food on the table, to becoming U.S. citizens, to learning English, to graduating from college to gaining skills that lead to quality jobs with career-path employment opportunities. In parallel to our high-impact direct services, we address the root causes of inequity through bold, place-based initiatives. Together, we’re building a Marin where everyone can live, learn, work, and succeed.

CORRAL pairs at-risk girls with rescued horses to promote healing, transformational growth and ultimately, lasting life-change. The CORRAL Riding Academy is a youth-serving nonprofit operating out of Cary, North Carolina. This program’s mission pairs at-risk girls between the ages of eleven and eighteen with rescued horses to promote healing, transformational growth, and ultimately, lasting life change. CORRAL is intended as a long-term intervention for the youth, requiring a minimum of one year’s commitment from each participant, and anticipating a four to seven year commitment for each student with reapplication every year. The intention of CORRAL is to shepherd youth through their difficult teenage years and into college. The structure of CORRAL is based on five components: horseback riding, vocational training, tutoring, equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP), and mentorship. These components are designed to allow participants to gain equine knowledge and skills, and also develop the behaviors, attitudes, and skills necessary for success in life beyond horses. CORRAL accepts participants from referring agencies within the community including Human Services, local law enforcement, Juvenile Justice, Teen Court, school teachers and administrators, and other sources. Candidates are selected through an application and interview process. This process measures and compares level of risk and level of commitment with the end goal being that selected participants will demonstrate both a high level or risk and a high level of commitment.
