Empowering Young Minds, Building Brighter Futures
The Joshua Academy Foundation is dedicated to supporting the mission of The Joshua Academy by providing essential resources and funding. Our goal is to ensure that every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
The Dream Empowerment Center
Provide a healthy, safe, and encouraging space for students to dream about their dynamic future. Donations will be directed to the physical building/room, a calming space where students are allowed to “dream” about their future, dream counselors, and dedicated staff members to help students channel their dreams into actionable steps and design plans for execution.
Funding Request
Counselors (annual salary) – $60,000 per counselor
Room Construction – $100,000 – includes technology, furniture
Counselor annual training & development – $10,000
Artful Spaces
Hanging art in the school, home, and grounds will provide a range of benefits to students, house parents, administrators, and staff personnel – such as boosting moods and mental well-being, the creation of a calming environment, stimulating creativity, and enhancing one’s focus. The Art curator would be responsible for securing (via donations), cataloging, and placing art around public spaces. House parents would be responsible for selecting art from the catalog to be placed in the home, while students would select pieces to be hung in their private spaces.
According to the Artwork Archive (May 5th, 2017), art makes a home feel more human, it helps us validate and recognize our emotions, art reminds us of what is possible, and encourages us to be brave.
