Our Kiwanis Club of Troy donates time and money to support and encourage kids in our community, through example, so they feel empowered to do great things in their communities. We support Judson Center, Grace Centers of Hope, Troy Family Daze, Troy Historical Society, various scholarships, Morse Elementary, and City of Troy Dog Park.
Grace Centers of Hope Support
Support Grace Centers of Hope (addiction and abuse victims) by providing food and serving dinners to residents. Provide onsite and donation support throughout the year.
Why did we create the KIT Fund? This is our why...from the lips of counselors helping our youth become mentally well.......
School counselor: Most times, when school counselors like us make therapy referrals for "economically" at-risk students, we cross our fingers and keep our expectations realistic. And hope. Most times, these students end up back in our offices because there is nowhere else to go. If this sounds desperate, it's because it is.
The KIT/ARISE program has embraced our most at-risk students. The cases are clinically significant wherein the lack of treatment will likely spur negative coping strategies like school avoidance and substance abuse. We feel incredible relief that we are able to see a case through to where students are actually receiving therapy.
The gratitude that comes from knowing top-notch therapists are working with our students is tremendous. I can't fully convey the depth of this feeling. We always cheer for each other when one of us makes a referral to the KIT Fund/ARISE collaboration. It feels like such a victory. Thank you, thank you for helping school counselors too!!
