Support The Agape House's Mission

We are not disadvantaged. We provide early intervention. We are assertive, encouraging respect for self and others. We take control, determined to use personal tools to survive and thrive.

1. Our focus is on the individual. Black and Brown young women are disproportionately represented in the foster care system, the homeless community, the judicial system, the penal system, the poor, the pipeline to sexual trafficking.
2. We are preventative. Our efforts are to break negative and adverse cycles; whether poverty, physical abuse, or systemic racism, we want to break it. We treat each young woman as if she is unique because she is.
3. We believe we all are interconnected and interdependent. We believe that as the proverb states, “When you save one life, You save the world”.

I am writing to commend and affirm the tireless efforts of The Agape House on behalf of marginalized, at-risk young women of color who are in need of housing, education, employment and an opportunity to experience the “playing field being balanced”. Kiti Ward is an exceptional leader with amazing vision and determination to see change brought about through social justice. Agape House’s overt efforts to identify and recruit black and brown girls, to empower them through positive role models, training/education programs, group meetings, consistent affirmation, and now employment replete with a viable career path.
