The mission of Roots & Wings is to provide at-risk adolescent and aging-out foster youth with the vital support systems necessary for achieving self-sufficiency. Roots and Wings believes education is the foundation to establishing self-sufficiency; therefore all Roots & Wings participants further their education while in the program. Each young person assisted by Roots & Wings is provided with safe housing, case management, educational support, counseling support, access to healthcare, and a mentor. While in the program, each young person develops educational goals and the needed life skills for living a full, independent life.
