ISAAC'S ROOM EXISTS TO HELP DIVESTED YOUNG PEOPLE BUILD THE CAPACITY TO RISE TO THE CHALLENGES OF LIFE. WE PROVIDE EXPERIENCES THAT BUILD CHARACTER, CONFIDENCE, AND SKILLS AND A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT THE QUEST TO BE THE HERO OF YOUR STORY AND A CONTRIBUTOR IN SOCIETY. WE FOCUS ON BUILDING CRITICAL WORK SKILLS IN A TEAM CONCEPT THROUGH A WORKING INTERNSHIP AT THE IKE BOX COFFEE SHOP, THE FAMILY BUSINESS OF ISAAC'S ROOM. WE ALSO PROVIDE ONE-ON-ONE MENTORSHIP, HOUSING OPTIONS, PERSONAL WELLNESS TRAINING, FINANCIAL LITERACY, AND ENRICHMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE WORKFORCE TRAINING. DIVESTED MEANS POWERLESS. IN THE LIFE OF A DIVESTED YOUNG PERSON, IT REFERS TO THE STATE OF BEING POWERLESS TO FACE THE CHALLENGES OF LIFE WITH ANY CONFIDENCE OR EFFECTIVENESS. YOUTH CAN BE DIVESTED BY EXTERNAL FACTORS: FOSTER CARE, DISRUPTED EDUCATION, POVERTY, ADDICTION, INCARCERATION OR AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THEIR OWN DESTRUCTIVE CHOICES. EITHER WAY, THESE ARE THE KIDS WHO, ON THEIR CURRENT TRAJECTORY.
