Four Winds Empowerment, Inc.

Four Winds Empowerment, Inc. is a non-profit organization committed to breaking the cycle of homelessness, poverty, and stigmas.  We provide a holistic and compassionate approach to support individuals on their journey to self-sufficiency. Our programs address immediate needs while building the skills and confidence for long-term success.

​

​Homelessness can come about due to many causes.  We at Four Winds Empowerment, Inc. aim to break the stigma that homeless people are lazy and don't want to work.  Not always true.  Sometimes, it becomes generational homelessness, resulting in passing down negative thoughts and behaviors from parents to children and so forth instilling notions that "It is what it is," "I'm no good," and "Things are not going to get better."  We want to break this cycle.  Homelessness can be the result of mental illness, substance abuse, domestic violence, extreme or chronic health problems, loss of a job, eviction, home foreclosure, and natural disasters for instance. 

​

Our main goal is that upon completion of the Four Winds seminars, learning new job skills and job ethics, and completion of their own self-designed life/career goals, participants will feel empowered over their own lives, empowered to shape their own future, get a new job, on the path to a new career, deeper and closer relationships, and the realization that they have a voice and the power to plan and make positive choices.
