MEETING CHILDRENS NEEDS IN THE HEART OF THEIR COMMUNITIES

Mission Statement:

Our mission is to meet children where they are physically, emotionally, and spiritually by creating safe, trauma-informed programs rooted in faith, healing, and community connection. We aim to build resilience, foster emotional growth, and inspire hope for every child we serve.

At OCF of Riviera Beach, we help children heal, grow, and thrive.

Purpose Statement:

Our Children’s Future of Riviera Beach aims to advance the emotional, social, and spiritual well-being of children in under-resourced communities. Through our flagship program, Roots & Resilience, we provide trauma-informed, play-based, and faith-rooted wellness sessions in local parks where children feel safe, seen, and supported.

We aim to remove barriers to mental health support by meeting children where they are physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and nurturing their growth into confident, resilient, and hopeful young individuals who know they are deeply valued and loved.

Free, faith-rooted mental wellness programs for kids ages 7–12.

Vision Statement:

We envision a future where every child in Riviera Beach grows emotionally strong, spiritually rooted, and surrounded by a community that nurtures their healing and potential. Through safe, joyful, and faith-centered programs, we strive to break barriers to mental wellness and inspire a generation of resilient, confident, and hopeful young leaders.
