MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Monroe Harding’s mission is to change young people’s lives. Our cause is to ensure that foster care youth and other vulnerable young people build a solid foundation of strengths that position them for success in adulthood. Our cause and mission are accomplished through trauma and resiliency informed programs and services in foster care, supportive housing, clinical emotional and mental health support services, and education, career development, and life skills support services.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

MMH utilizes four main strategies to empower young people to make meaningful changes in their lives: homes, healing, opportunities, and advocacy.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Youth Connections Resource Center: Founded in 1893, Monroe Harding’s mission is changing young people’s lives. Throughout that time, our agency adapts to meet the changing needs of children and youth in our community. Created in 2005, Monroe Harding's Youth Connections Resource Center (YC), located in downtown Nashville, is well-established as a drop-in center and service provider for yourng adults (ages 16 to26). It is one of only four designated community resource centers for current and former foster youth in the state of TN and also serves other vulnerable young adults who are neither enrolled in school nor participating in the labor market. Foster Care: Monroe Harding’s Foster Care program serves children and adolescents (ages 0 to 19 years) who are in the legal custody of the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services (DCS). We provide children and teens with a safe, nurturing environment while their birth parents improve their ability to care for their children. Supportive Housing: Monroe Harding's supportive housing provides safe, affordable housing to young adults who are experiencing homeless or at risk of homelessness through two programs: Independent Living (IL) and VOCA (Victims of Crime). Opportunity Now Reengagement Hub at Monroe Harding: Youth Connections is home to one of two recently launched reengagement hubs for young adults ages 17-24 in the Metro Nashville area who experienced traumatic crime-victimization. The purpose of our hub is to provide collaborative, community-based support in education and employment.
