Appreciation and Recognition
The program seeks to shine a spotlight on the remarkable single parents in the community. Through heartfelt ceremonies and expressions of gratitude, these unsung heroes are acknowledged for their dedication and love as they navigate the complexities of parenthood.
Gift-Giving
“Crossing Bridges” includes a gift-giving component where essential items, educational resources, and heartfelt tokens of appreciation are distributed to single parents raising boys. This gesture aims to alleviate some of the daily challenges they may face and reaffirm the community’s commitment to their well-being.
Empowerment Workshops
Beyond the gifts, “Crossing Bridges” offers workshops and resources that empower single parents with knowledge and skills to navigate their unique journey effectively. Topics such as parenting, financial literacy, and personal development are covered to equip them with tools for success.
Youth Engagement
