Rooted & Rising

Our program: Rooted & Rising focuses on Third Culture Kids (TCKs)—young people who have grown up between cultures.

These young people often face social isolation, anxiety and depression as well as deep, hidden grief from leaving “home” behind

Our TCK program is designed to:

  • Provide safe spaces where they can talk about their transition, loss, and identity.
  • Help them understand the process of grief related to migration and find language for what they feel.
  • Show them the unique strengths and opportunities that come from their cross-cultural experience.
  • Root their identity in Christ, not in geography or performance.

 

Currently we are working in partnership with Salvation Army to create a space where we host:

  • Small groups and sharing circles for youth, so they can talk about their experiences, fears and pain that come with this transition.
  • Workshops on social skills and leadership
  • Teaching on grief and identity from a Christ-centered perspective

 

Our dream is to see TCKs healed, rooted, and released as leaders in their schools, churches, and communities.
