Candlestick Vision 2019 and beyond…
One of the biggest travesties today is the maze of pitfalls that encumber our teens daily. The challenges they face multiply year after year. They deal with temptations and pressures unheard of before our time. Many teens are lost, confused, distracted and have no purpose or direction. Many of their parents are busy, single or married but, for whatever reason, the children find themselves in chaotic homes which make stability a mere dream for them. The parents are not able to adequately supply all the foundational life-giving support emotionally, academically and in life skill development that is necessary to create healthy young adults ready to conquer the world.
Our purpose is to fund programs that fill this vital need in children’s lives – not just teens but any age child or adult – so that we can help empower them to shine their light for the world. We are seeking “cornerstone” partners who will help build our foundation!!
“Tutoring for Excellence” has been in business for 4 years and serves the Atlanta area. Many families have been helped and lives changed through TFE’s parental and academic coaching. Most of the coaching methods are inspired by the “7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens” and, most recently, “Love and Logic” principles. The non-profit, “Candlestick Foundation”, was started by Tutoring for Excellence and one of our families to help more families afford the services of TFE and other empowering programs offered through similar businesses, such as “Trellis” – a horticultural therapy company we currently use for the STAG program.
