Unsupported young mothers and children are especially vulnerable to the cycle of poverty and homelessness. For these mother-led families who face incredible uncertainty, Highbanks offers them hope by providing a safe home, opportunity for education, and the critical supports needed to overcome their challenges and becoming thriving members of our community. It’s hope that brightens a young mother’s path, allowing her to heal and reach her infinite potential. By providing hope, we empower women to be their best self and create a brighter future for them and their children. Our goal is for these young moms to leave Highbanks as educated, resilient, confident & self-sufficient parents raising healthy, happy children.
To provide safe, affordable housing and a nurturing community where young families can learn and grow.
The success of our model is built on the latest research in epigenetics, brain story, and trauma-informed psychology. It is designed to mitigate the impacts of adverse childhood experiences and intentionally empower mother-led families in building Protective and Compensatory Experiences (PACEs) into the foundations of their lives in order to promote lifelong resiliency.
Getting involved with Highbanks a chance to be a beacon of hope and make a difference in the lives of young women and children who need it most. Together, we are helping our youth become resilient, thriving, and vibrant members in our community and giving them the brighter future they deserve.
We couldn’t do this important work without the help of many generous donors, volunteers, and supporters. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
With Highbanks on my side, I was able to improve myself and finally feel like a respected member in my community and a proud mother.
Highbanks supports vulnerable pregnant or parenting women between 16-24 years old who are leaving situations of domestic violence, poverty, and/or homelessness, and are committed to their educational goals.
