OVERCOMING OBSTACLES FOR THE COLLEGE BOUND SINGLE PARENT

We believe education is the solution in fighting generational poverty.

​MISSION

​Enliven Foundation is in the business of equipping and empowering parents to achieve personal and academic success by providing practical needs, academic guidance, and emotional support.

​THE FIGHT

​When a child looks to a parent for guidance into adulthood and finds that the parent values education, the child will most likely choose education as well. Quite often single parents are at a financial disadvantage in achieving their academic goals. Lacking supportive family and raising their children alone, they find themselves reliant on state assistance or in a minimum wage job, without hope of achieving their goals. Enliven strives to restore hope where it was once lost.

​FOCUS

Our focus is in helping single parents who are in poverty achieve their academic goals. Enliven recognizes that there is a population of single parents who are trapped in the financial struggle of paying for housing and childcare while attempting to achieve their academic goals. Enliven strives to conquer these obstacle by offering a hand up to those single parents who strive to break the strongholds of generational poverty and provide a promising future to their children.

​PURPOSE

​Enliven’s main purpose is to bridge the gap between defeat and accomplishment. Education is key and comes in many different forms, from an apprenticeship to a 4-year degree. We are here to help parents and their children climb boulders and move mountains along their journey to self-sustainability.
