Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Health & Wellness
We believe that physical health and wellness are key components in overall health. Each year, over 7,000 individuals visit our campus, which serves as a community gathering place. We regularly host school cross country meets, visitors to our pool and gymnasium, walkers and runners using the paths and open space, and the Master Gardeners at our Community Garden. We are committed to maintaining and improving the functionality of our grounds for these purposes.
Early Childhood Development
Our Early Childhood Development programs provide the full continuum of services for children from birth to 12, their parents, and their support professionals. We focus on developing a child’s core competencies and confidence through hands-on learning experiences. Programs include:
Early Head Start provides free, full-time child care for infants and toddlers. The program offers tools and resources to parents of children ages 0-3 at home and in our centers so that they can build a strong foundation for life.
Healthy Families is a home-visiting service that supports new parents prenatally through the child’s 5th birthday by focusing on positive parent-child interactions and providing education related to healthy development and family functioning.
The Motherhood Collective equips and empowers women from preconception - postpartum through evidence-based education and social support.
The Child Care Resource Center offers support and education to parents and early childhood educators.
Mental & Behavioral Health
Mental health services provide a critical foundation that our clients can build their lives around. Our treatment philosophy supports children, teens, and adults as they make the journey towards mental stability and self-sufficiency. Offered at our office and integrated into home, school, and community settings, our services include individual, family, and group counseling, as well as mental health treatment and evaluation. We tailor these services to meet the developmental and relational needs of each client and their family system.
At Blackwater Counseling, counselors use an integrative, person-centered approach with evidence-based therapies to meet the needs of clients in our care.
Economic Opportunity
Our Economic Opportunity programs help individuals and families develop plans for achieving financial success. Through our services, clients have opportunities to strengthen skills that create a pathway to financial stability.
The Ways to Work loan program helps working individuals with challenging credit histories obtain financing for reliable transportation.
Employment Navigators develop individualized plans, connect participants with employment resources, and work with participants to advance them toward their employment and career goals.
Financial Navigators provide no-cost guidance to help clients triage their financial issues, identify immediate action steps, and make referrals to public programs.
The Financial Opportunity Center program works with individuals to establish and build long-term financial and career goals via coaching and education.
Workforce Development represents a collaborative partnership that connects participants with job and training opportunities.
Developmental Disabilities
Since 1903, we have provided safe and loving homes for those in need. Today, our Adult Services department provides homes for adults with intellectual disabilities, including group and sponsored homes, across Virginia. These safe, caring, and supportive environments help our residents lead full and meaningful lives while developing hope for the future.
Our adult group homes provide 24-hours supervision and support, and serve individuals with developmental disabilities by helping them pursue their goals and interests and promoting productive and meaningful lives.
Our Adult Sponsored Homes program places clients in the home of a loving family that provides individualized support and the opportunity to experience life in a community setting rather than in a state institution or group home.
Our Adult Supervised Living program provides regular supervision and individualized support services for adults with developmental disabilities living in residential settings in the community.
Youth & Family Services
Our Youth & Family Services include a range of programs for those in need. We give our clients opportunities to develop nurturing skills, a key factor in the prevention of child abuse and neglect. Programs include:
Darkness to Light, an interactive workshop that includes videos, discussions, and take-home workbooks on strategies to respond to and prevent child sexual abuse.
Parent Child Nurturing Classes bring together the whole family to address areas of communication, expectations, and family roles.
Our Treatment Foster Care program trains and supports loving foster parents to provide around-the-clock care for at-risk children who have been removed from their homes.
Family Partner Meetings aim to involve birth families and community members, along with resource families, service providers, and agency staff, in placement decisions, to ensure a network of support for the child and the adults who care for them.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Early Childhood Development

Youth & Family Services
We provide parenting classes, a therapeutic foster care program, substance abuse prevention programs in middle schools, after school programming, and a program to help homeless individuals who have disabilities to gain stable housing.
Health & Wellness
As part of our larger “GreenSpace Project," we will utilize our existing relationships with the community to increase accessibility and enhance our already existing assets.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Early Childhood Development
HumanKind is the only organization that offers the Child Development Associate's Class in Central Virginia. 100% of CDA exam participants received a scholarship through HumanKind's Advanced Education Partnership, making completion of the program accessible to more educators. ● Our Healthy Families team of 16 individuals support parents in their homes through regular home visits and parenting training. ● Little Wings Preschool provides quality early childhood education to pre-k children from all backgrounds through the high scope curriculum and a sliding scale fee structure.
Mental & Behavioral Health
HumanKind's Counseling Center maintains partnerships with local and non-local entities in order to make outpatient counseling services more accessible. In addition, mental health services are offered on a sliding scale, making treatment available to those who otherwise would not have access.
Economic Opportunity
HumanKind provides fair interest vehicle loans to individuals with poor credit through Ways to Work programs in Lynchburg and Richmond. We also provide intensive employment, financial and benefits coaching through a Financial Opportunity Center in Richmond.
Developmental Disabilities
HumanKind currently holds licenses for three (3) Group Homes, two (2) Supervised Living residences, and twenty (20) Sponsored Homes. We are also unique in that we are able to offer services regardless of a resident's ability to pay or Medicaid Waiver status.
Youth & Family Services
Our Therapeutic Foster Care program offers 24/7 crisis intervention and ongoing case management. ● Parenting classes are facilitated by staff trained in the Nurturing Parent Curriculum, which is demonstrated to help alter poor parenting habits and methods. ● One prevention specialist focuses on substance abuse prevention among school-age youth.
Health & Wellness
HumanKind is well-connected to our community and already offers the following resources on our 166 acre campus: a pool, fishing pond, gymnasium, community gardens, walking trails, cross-country courses, disc golf course.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Early Childhood Development
Last year, the Child Care Resource Center provided 2,250 hours of training to early childhood educators and 18 individuals completed the Child Development Associate course. ● Healthy Families provided 2,700 home visits and less than 3% of their clients were involved in incidents of child abuse or neglect, even though many of our participants were themselves victims of abuse or neglect as children. ● 100% of typically developing Little Wings preschool children demonstrated school readiness.
Mental & Behavioral Health
In 2018, 99% of participants in Mental Health Skill Building Services avoided re-hospitalization. ● 73% of counseling center clients showed a decrease in their symptoms.
Economic Opportunity
In 2018, Ways to Work served 1,850 individuals through financial education, workshops and referrals and approved 190 fair-interest vehicle loans. 74% of clients improved their credit scores and 74% reduced their reliance on public assistance. Our programs have been repeatedly recognized by the National Ways to Work office for their high loan volume and low default rate. ● The Financial Opportunity Center helped over 100 individuals develop personal budgets, helped 44 individuals apply for financial supports to get them on their feet, and provided 280 one-on-one employment coaching sessions.
Developmental Disabilities
HumanKind's residents of our group homes again ranked their quality of life as high and our sponsored home residents are benefiting from the one-on-one attention and care they receive.
Youth & Family Services
The Treatment Foster Care team expanded into two additional communities (Bedford and Richmond) and helped 55 children and youth find placements. ● 97% of Housing First Lynchburg clients maintained stable housing. ● HumanKind served 58 individuals through Parent-Child Nurturing Classes which have resulted in 100% of parents demonstrating improved parent nurturing skills. ● 156 female inmates were served through Life Skills classes in the jails.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

- We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
- We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
- We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
- We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
- We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
- We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
- We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
- We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
