A Note from Eliada’s Leadership Team In this Annual Report you will see how our vast continuum of services and platform for success are the bedrock for ensuring we are responsive to every critical need that young people face in our community.

As we move forward as an agency, the fidelity of this model must be maintained. In order to achieve this: •We strategically focus on any gaps in our service continuum.

•We mitigate economic fluctuations by diversifying our revenue streams.

•We expand our strategic partnerships.

•We increase our advocacy and brand awareness efforts.

Over the next few years we plan to: •Transform the Eliada Students Training for Advancement (ESTA) program.

We will take ESTA from 8 to 30 youth and employ a collective impact approach to engage local businesses and organizations in programming.

•Transform our Residential Treatment services. We will blend youth development strategies in with mental health practices to help youth build resiliency and thrive while in treatment. We will also invest in after care services, so we can follow up with youth after they leave us and ensure they are on their path towards success.

•Make our 21st Century after school program sustainable. We will be shifting away from government funding and support after school programming through local partnerships.

•Expand our Child Development Center so we can serve more children.

We currently have a waitlist of 100 for children 0-3 years old.

•Increase our Foster Care Services. We receive 1,200 calls annually to place a child in one of our foster homes, but we only have 65 beds in foster homes to accommodate this demand.

Your support is instrumental to Eliada’s ability to stay responsive to ever changing needs, and achieve our mission of Helping Children Succeed!

Eliada’s Platform for Success in Action

Youth find success in Eliada’s safety net services with the support of loving foster parents Siana had been chronically truant and had not attended school for nearly 3 months. She also struggled with mental health issues that led to her being hospitalized.

Due to her truancy and mental health issues, Siana spent a month with Eliada Foster Parents.

She began attending school regularly, joined the school chorus, saw the doctor and the dentist, and got a new pair of glasses.

Siana left her foster home after learning how to meet her basic health and mental health needs. After one month, she told Eliada staff that she felt valuable, lovable, worthwhile and responsible!

Prevention & intervention programs like workforce development & transitional living give youth “go ready” skills

Students in the Eliada Students Training for Advancement (ESTA) program, like Marc (pictured above) have multiple barriers to employment including aging out of foster care, court involvement, and disengagement from high school.

While in ESTA, youth held paid apprenticeships.

Marc work for Corner Kitchen Catering and benefitted from mentorship on the job.

Not only did he gain job experience, but he received transitional living services which included affordable housing and life skills training.

He worked on getting his driver’s license, improved his academics, and built a nest egg of over $2,000 to launch him into independence.

Youth development programs engage young adults through innovative STEM curriculum Students at Woodfin, Emma, and Leceister Elementary are in Eliada’s 21st Century After School program. They engaged in innovative STEM programming through Engineering For Kids. They practiced every part of the engineering process including brainstorming, planning, designing, building, and improving.

Through experiential activities, they built model cars, built and launched model rockets, made polymers (pictured above), built miniature habitats, and used Go-Pro cameras to create PSAs on how to save trees.

Each activity was tied to a book so youth could practice their literacy skills.

Therapeutic Foster Care Therapeutic Foster Care gives youth a safe place to live with supportive parents who work with them on skill building and healing from past trauma. Youth also gain access to basic health and mental health services.

“There were a lot of things that Eliada did that were helpful. I did not have a lot of positive female role models before I went to Eliada and so many female staff at Eliada were role models to me. The therapy was helpful. [The therapist] knew how to talk to me about my sexual abuse when I did not want to talk about it.�
