Avow was awarded a $55,300 grant from Champions for Learning as part of a multiagency Future Ready Collier collaboration project to fund resiliency programming. Funds are designated to Avow Kids, which supports children ages 5-17 experiencing grief or loss in any capacity. The grant will ensure the program’s continued availability and resources, offered at no cost to participants. With guidance from bereavement counselors, each child builds self-confidence and perseverance in the face of adversity, learns how to foster healthy relationships and develops critical thinking, self-awareness and many other life skills.
