Empowering Students Through the I AM ME Workshop
On November 12, 2025, Ardyn Hope hosted another inspiring I AM ME Empowerment Workshop, bringing together young parents, community partners, and dedicated supporters for a morning of connection, learning, and encouragement.
This workshop focused on empowering teen and young parents through trauma-informed education, hands-on activities, and open conversation. Participants engaged in meaningful discussions, explored resources tailored to their needs, and connected with organizations committed to their long-term wellness and success.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our incredible partners — Children’s Health, Intuit, Natural Grocers, and Richardson ISD — whose support and collaboration made this event possible. We’re grateful to RISD for hosting us on their campus and to each partner for contributing resources, expertise, and encouragement to the families we serve.
Together, we continue building a community where young parents feel seen, supported, and empowered.
Thank you for being part of the I AM ME journey.
Our 2025 Mother’s Day Empowerment Brunch was a heartfelt celebration of love, strength & sisterhood!
Held during Maternal Mental Health Week, this unforgettable gathering brought together amazing women, powerful stories, and moments of joy, healing, and connection.
From the inspiring speakers to the soul-nourishing meal, every part of the day reminded us of the beauty that happens when community, purpose, and support come together.
Thank you to everyone who poured into this event — our partners, speakers, volunteers, and every mom who showed up and shared space with us. You are seen, you are valued, and you are never alone.
