FROM OUR FOUNDER
As a social worker, I've worked with many young people over the years. What I discovered was that despite all of their talents, gifts, and abilities, many of them presented with the same issue. They didn't believe in a future for themselves. Some of them have experienced awful abuse, neglect and trauma. Some were a product of a chaotic environment. However, despite their beginnings and life circumstances, I wanted them to realize that they are entitled to a viable future. That was my reasoning for founding Transforming Other's Potential, Inc (TOP Inc.). I wanted an opportunity to reach as many young people as I could to let them know that not just a future is available to them; but an awesome one is waiting for them!
We reach young people in two ways. First, we offer staff development training and program development to agencies and organizations that serve young people. We also provide direct services to young people in the form of workshops and group mentoring opportunities. We do this in a practical and entertaining manner so that all involved not only learn, but have fun in the process.
At TOP, Inc., our name is based on Romans 12:2 whereas we believe that if we renew minds, we can transform our lives. That is why we do what we do here at TOP, Inc. God has purposed us to serve others, and we accept that mission. We would love to serve you whether you are an established organization seeking training opportunities, or a struggling young person looking for assistance. Contact us today!
