Starting Right, Now

Ending homelessness for youth by providing one-on-one mentoring, a stable home, teaching life skills and promoting educational achievement.

First things first, we suited up in our harnesses at the ropes course. We learn to trust that our harness will not let us down or let us fall!

Vicki Sokolik insists that helping unhoused youth wasn’t ever “her mission,” but when she learned about them, she could not ignore them anymore. She has been supporting unhoused youth ever since.

Our students had so much fun learning to cook with Joe from King Of The Coop last Monday! Food safety and cooking is such an important life skill, and we were honored to learn from one of the best! Thank you!

Hurricanes Helene and Milton have caused us to postpone our Lend-A-Hand luncheon until Feb 2025

[Starting Right, Now @SRNtweets]

We regret to inform you that Lend A Hand is being rescheduled for Feb due to the hurricane damage.
We are hopeful that Tampa Bay will show the same resilience we see in our SRN youth.  More info will be forthcoming.
