INCARNATION HOUSE

Incarnation House, located in the heart of Uptown Dallas, is a center dedicated to serving the needs of transitional high school students with after school programming that helps to develop essential life skills, provide emotional support and physical resources, and foster a sense of hope for a future free from the bondage of poverty. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Incarnation House is a hub and functions as a collaborator among its volunteers and partners in order to provide support and resources for the youth it serves. Services focus on the students’ physical, educational and emotional needs in order to equip them to live as confident, independent adults. Our hope is to permanently change the course of homeless youth’s lives, putting them on a track to reach their full potential. The disparity between education and earning potential is growing, and there are now fewer living-wage jobs for those without a college degree. A sound education and sustainable career path are the keys to long-term stability. To this end, we have established outcome goals.
Incarnation House offers a safe and consistent after-school destination that feels like home. It is a wraparound program, where each student is valued for who they are as an individual. Once in the program, the Program Manager will work directly with the youth to address their unique needs and desired future. The Plan will include formal services and interventions, together with community services and interpersonal support and assistance provided by a network of adults who care about their future. The approach is team driven, involving staff, community partners and volunteers who collaborate to develop, implement, and evaluate an individualized care plan. Plan components and strategies are revised when outcomes are not being achieved.
