This afternoon, Purdue Extension Wabash County joined us on campus to introduce our Independent Living students to career opportunities involving drones.

From agriculture to criminal justice and more, students learned how this technology is transforming a wide range of fields. They even had the chance to practice flying, landing, and navigating drones through obstacles.

The best part? Watching the smiles and excitement as they took flight.

We’re grateful for partnerships like this that continue to open doors and create new possibilities as we help our teens grow for LIFE.

March means one thing… it’s tournament time. 🏀

Yesterday, our team brought the energy for Spirit Day—repping their favorite schools and passing the ball (and the fun) all across campus.

Because just like the season we’re celebrating, it’s all about teamwork, connection, and showing up for one another.

Around here, that’s a win every time.

There’s something powerful about the moment a student realizes they’re stronger than they thought.🏀

Through physical activity, our students build grit, courage, and the willingness to keep going, with staff walking alongside them every step of the way.

Kelsey Sommers, Director of Independent Living & Aftercare, shared:

“Physical fitness has always been instrumental to my well-being. In some of the hardest seasons of my life, my fitness community was my saving grace. The grit, determination, and perseverance I built there are the same things I love connecting with our students on.

I love the moment in a hard workout when a student wants to give up and quit. It brings in this beautiful opportunity to embrace the hard stuff and push through. All of our students have faced hard things. Helping them reframe that struggle into strength and growth is powerful.”

At Josiah White’s, these moments become opportunities for healing—and reminders that resilience is built one step at a time.

💙March is Social Work Month—and today is !

All month, we’re highlighting meaningful conversations with some of our very own social workers. Their work is challenging, but it’s also full of laughter, joy, and human connection.

Today, we’re sharing a moment from our conversation with Corynn Barton, Residential Supervisor. Corynn breaks down a common misconception about the profession and reframes the reality of what social work really is.

We’re so grateful for all the social workers on our team who step in and step up for the children, teens, and families we serve every day.💚

Stay tuned for more raw, authentic conversations with the humans behind the degrees—and the hearts behind the work.

Last week on our Wabash campus, we had the honor of being named 2025 Conservationist of the Year by the Wabash County Soil & Water Conservation District 💚

It was a meaningful opportunity to reflect on the many hands and hearts that have cared for this land over the years. Together, our students and staff have planted more than 2,000 trees, built fencing for our cows, helped construct Jadyn’s Hope Barn, cared for free-range chickens, and restored areas across campus.

As our Director of Support Services, Jay Lynn, shared during the celebration, this work is about investing in a future we may not fully see — planting seeds today that will bless students for generations to come.

We’re deeply grateful for the students, staff, and partners who show up every day with a spirit of stewardship and care for God’s creation. 🌱🌳

Every program that supports a child.

Every resource that strengthens a family.

Every opportunity that helps a teen discover their future.

Behind many of those moments is someone who helped write possibility into reality — like Terry Hughes, our own grant writer.

Today is , and we celebrate the grant professionals whose time, talent, and dedication help turn mission-driven ideas into real programs. Their work often happens behind the scenes, but its impact is felt every day by the children, teens, and families who receive care, support, and new opportunities.

Every day, the mission of Josiah White’s is carried out by people who believe deeply in the work they do.💙

Throughout the year, we’re sitting down with some of those people — the ones who show up each day to walk alongside our students and help create new possibilities for their futures.

We’re excited to share the first conversation in this series with our Recreational Manager, Jacob Hodge, as he talks about his “why.”

When asked what he wants people to know about our mission, Jacob shared something simple but powerful:

“They [our students] don’t have to worry about the struggles of the world while they’re here. They just get to learn how to become themselves.”

That’s what this place is meant to be: a space where young people can breathe, grow, try new things, build confidence, and begin to discover who they are beyond the challenges they’ve faced.

It's , and as a Christian ministry, our faith guides how we care for the children, teens, and families we serve.

Kenton Schiele, a Family Skills Coach on our Family Preservation team, draws inspiration from Luke 6:32-35. For Kenton, faith means offering love and grace to families without expecting anything in return — simply helping them move forward toward and healthier family dynamics.

We're grateful for our staff and the way they lead with a mission mindset in the field of social work. 💙

Small steps can lead to big growth. 🏀

This season, a student who had never played on a team before stepped onto the court and committed to learning. Every day he asked how he could improve, and his coach reminded him he didn’t have to be perfect—just better than he was yesterday.

By the final game, his growth was clear.

This is the kind of progress we celebrate: young people discovering resilience, confidence, and the courage to keep growing—on the court and in life.

Celebrating Our February Employee Recognition Winner! 🎉

Each month, Josiah White’s staff nominate coworkers who go above and beyond while living out our Core Values of being humble, effective, mission-driven, Christian, professional, and resilient.

This month we’re proud to recognize Katie Reed for her mission-driven and effective service. When a client crisis arose, Katie quickly rearranged her day to step in and support her Family Preservation Indianapolis team, helping ensure urgent needs were met.

Her willingness to jump in, adapt, and care deeply for the families we serve is a powerful example of our mission in action.

👏 Congratulations, Katie!
And thank you to all of our nominees who make Josiah White’s a place where people lift one another up and serve with purpose.

Board Game Club is one of the many recreation opportunities available to students on campus. Here, students gather with staff and peers to play games and learn new ones together.

Whether it’s Scrabble, Uno, or the strategy of chess, the real value goes beyond the board. These moments create space for connection, laughter, and the chance for students to experience something every teenager needs—belonging, encouragement, and a safe place to just be themselves.

Sometimes, meaningful growth happens in simple moments like these, around a table, sharing a game.💙

“A second chance can change the entire course of a life.”💙

Andrea Silvers, Vice President - Business Development and Partnerships at Algebrik AI, spoke on the reality of how a second chance can completely change a person's life.

“I’ve learned that a second chance can change the entire course of a life. None of us are defined by our worst decisions, especially young people carrying trauma and trying to navigate a world they weren’t prepared for.

When we offer grace, guidance, and a healthy second chance, we give someone the opportunity to discover who they were meant to be, not who their pain made them believe they were.”

Giving someone another opportunity shows God’s grace in that moment. It offers a young person who has faced things we can only guess at a chance to hope again and find their purpose.

We’re grateful to Andrea for speaking on why our youth should be offered second chances, because none of us are defined by our worst times.

Follow along as others share what second chances have meant in their lives, and how they’ve had the opportunity to offer them to someone else.
