Mission Statement

At HumanKind, our mission is to strengthen individuals, families and communities through care, counseling and education. Since 1903, HumanKind’s mission has been consistent, providing guidance and assistance to those striving to live better and healthier lives. We have been resilient and built momentum, awareness and success in this approach. Today, building on more than 100 years of faithful service, HumanKind is the catalyst for community action, addressing the complex challenges faced by thousands of children, individuals and families in our region and across the state of Virginia. We believe community well-being starts with a solid foundation for everyone. Our unique wrap-around approach allows our most vulnerable neighbors to achieve stability and strengthen their capacity to thrive in our communities.

Description

We are on a mission to empower people to thrive. We believe community well-being starts with a solid foundation for everyone.

HumanKind is a non-profit that wraps around local families struggling to overcome challenges associated with poverty - financial coaching, transportation, childcare, foster care, and parenting support. HumanKind meets people where they are in life and help them chart a course to achieve their goals and find stability.

With an emphasis on inclusion, we help individuals and families through programs and services that instill hope and provide the tools to build a better life.

Starting in 2008, we developed a range of high quality community based services for children and families responding to significant political pressure in Virginia to dramatically reduce the number of children in residential care. We also joined our efforts with those of another 100-year-old agency serving Central Virginia, The Family Alliance. We created a continuum of services ranging from prevention, education and healthy lifestyles for children to long-term residential care for adults.

With care, counsel and education, we are building on a 100 years of faithful service to strengthen children, families and communities across our region.
