Description of Organization

My Place is the only organization in Henderson County specifically providing residential services delivery to youths aged 18-21 who have dropped out of high school, aged out of foster care, are ineligible for social services, may have become parents themselves, and/or are unaccompanied (in high school with no permanent residence or adult supervision), who need the support that will allow them to move their lives in a positive direction. My Place has opened a youth cooperative featuring an accredited self-paced high school and management training in food services, performing arts and retail.

Grant(s) Awarded

The Foundation made a $2,500 grant in 2010 to support My Place’s “Generation Y” programs which provide opportunities to grow through social involvement, non-violent communication courses, conflict resolution forums, leadership training, consciousness-raising entertainment and service training.
