🌟 Employee of the Month: Ixchelle Hicks! 🌟

As Host Homes Program Coordinator, Ixchelle brings compassion, drive, and heart to everything she does — helping young adults find safety, support, and a place to belong.

Her background as a first-generation immigrant inspires her commitment to building brighter futures for others. One of her favorite quotes says it all: “To be assertive is to decide for yourself—and to trust that there is enough, that you are enough.”💜

Ixchelle, thank you for living that truth and lifting others along the way.

You are a ROCK STAR! 🤘✨

What a transformation! 🌳💪

Big thanks to our board member Noah Treadway and the awesome team from The Lakeside Church for showing up strong at The Grove - an IMPOWER Program for Serve Day!

They didn’t just stop by—they showed up with gloves on, ready to work. Alongside Noah, our IMPOWER Board Chair Travis Schmitt jumped in to help with mulching, tree trimming, and landscaping that gave our space a serious glow-up. 🙌

Thanks to this crew, The Grove is looking fresh and ready for the teens we serve to connect, grow, and feel at home.

We’re so grateful for your time, sweat equity, and heart 💜
