Programs of Project Compassion, NFP

Project Compassion, NFP currently operates 5 programs

Striving For Excellence Program: This program is designed to assist women ages 18-25 that are enrolled in school and/or college, working and/or actively pursuing their goals to achieve a successful life. We assist them with implementing and reaching their goals through training and mentorship.

Youth with a Vision (YWAV): This program is designed to assist girls ages 13-21 that are enrolled in high school and are academic achievers but lack the positive support system needed to continue their education and/or avoid falling victim to the negative environment in which they live in. We provide mentoring, and a positive support system to ensure these youth girls continue their education and continue down the road of success.

Compassion Reaching Youth (CRY): This program is designed for youth in grades K-12 with creating an Individuals Action Plan that will help them implement life skills, educational training and job readiness training into their daily lives. We work within the schools in St. Clair County, Il with students that are struggling with developing their social, life, and leadership skills. We offer on-going mentoring, educational support, and academic appropriate tutoring.

Compassion Reaching Infants and Babies (CRIB): This program is designed for new single mothers that are living in shelters or considered low-income and need assistance with getting all of the necessities for their new baby. We provide when available new car seats, pampers, bottles and diaper bags.

Compassion Day: This community outreach program operates January-October every 4th Saturday of each month. Through compassion Day 250-385 homeless are provided with seasonal and hygiene supplies, non-perishable foods and referral information on where to locate shelter. We welcome a group of 6 or more to register to assist us.

SPECIAL PROGRAM NOTE: Compassion Day was our first program started in 2005. This program was placed in the heart of our founder Rachel Jackson-Bramwell. She often shares that Project Compassion, NFP was founded as a way to show God's love and compassion to those who may have lost hope due to their circumstances of not having a shelter or enough food. Through Compassion Day monthly outreach many lives have been touched, it is the core and the foundation of who we are.

Unless we are willing to share with others and give back to those who are less fortunate we have not obtained the true meaning of love, kindness and Compassion. Our motto "Homeless but still human"
