Mission Statement

To serve. To heal. To educate. 

Lived experiences, is a nonprofit organization specializing in programs that assist youth and adults in addressing their needs and achieving their goals through emotional literacy, mentoring, and community connection through a trauma informed lens.

Mentoring

Mentoring, at its core, guarantees young people that there is someone who cares about them and makes them feel like they matter.
