HWAM Spring Jam

Spring Break 2010 at Hearts With a Mission came with a week of fun activities. Scavenger hunts, Band Hero competitions, Tie-dye, and nature hikes were just part of the line-up. The kids had a great time! While building lasting memories, they also engaged in team building activities and strengthened friendships.

Nurturing Growth

Youth are Given Room to Bloom at HWAM

---

While staying at Hearts With a Mission, youth are encouraged to grow. We start with the basics - healthy communication, school, life skills, job skills, and sustainable housing. But, we don't stop there. Youth are also given opportunites to participate in family reunification plans, community internships, art projects, and enrichment activities. When kids don't have to worry about meeting their basic needs, they have room to grow.

Monday Morning at HWAM

Movie Night!

Last night, the kids had a fun night out with several of our staff and volunteers. They went to the movies and watched To Save a Life, an inspiring movie about a young man who is forced to make some tough choices after his childhood friend dies. The kids were encouraged by the message in the film.

To Save a Life is playing in major theaters across the country. Check listings at your local theaters to see if it is playing near you.

Inspiring Creativity . . . Instilling Hope

Holly, a student from Southern Oregon University, visited Hearts With a Mission to do an art project with the residents. They made an amazing mural that is now hanging in our foyer. The kids worked on the concept with Holly for a couple of weeks and painted the mural last weekend.









The kids also designed their own paintings. They have been having lots of fun expressing themselves on canvas for the past few weeks. The final results were fantastic and as varied as the personalities of each of our kids.








We are grateful for all of our volunteers who give their time and resources to provide fun, enriching activities for the residents.
