Brookview House: Teen Visionaries Recently Updated

Brookview is a Black and Latinx women-led organization whose mission is to help homeless and at-risk families learn the skills necessary to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty. 

Teens in our program are resilient and motivated to change their lives and their communities. They are bright, caring enthusiastic young people who, when given the opportunity, show incredible ambition tempered with compassion that knows no bounds. They view their circumstance as temporary and are determined to persevere through a myriad of challenges.

Teen Visionaries is a program that prepares youth for life and work by helping them develop a new vision for their lives. The focus is on improving academics and behavioral health. Case management links the youth and their families to schools and services. Advocacy ensures each teen receives all necessary services. The objective is to address social, emotional and cognitive factors; develop leadership and job readiness skills; and empower teens by helping them develop skills to recognize and address unhealthy behaviors and relationships.
