What we aim to solve
Good Shepherds Foundation is focused on increasing the participation of youth, young adults, and adults to becoming more involved in helping others in different areas of life. In starting this process at a young age- empathy is gained and encouragement of others continues. Good Shepherds is also focusing on instilling community leadership among these very individuals so they learn that they are able to think outside of the box in problem solving and using creativity and collaboration as part of it all. The most current problems that the group is focused on is hunger, environment, self-esteem, bullying, and poverty.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
The Youth Advisory Council along with the support and guidance from the Board of Advisors work on researching community problems and brainstorm on what would be considered to be best efforts to help alleviate pressures, issues , and road blocks to help make improvements. With the use of social media and their newsletter, the group shares the goals and asks for support in fulfilling the needs of particular project they are working on. The request of assistance is by participation, research, and fundraising.
