Transforming Lives at the Douglas County Youth Center
“Providing the youth in need at the Douglas County Youth Detention Center with a pair of Tennis shoes.”
Our Mission
At Stepping Forward, Inc., we aim to make a meaningful impact on the lives of at-risk youth at the Douglas County Youth Center. We believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive, and we are dedicated to providing essential support through our initiative to donate tennis shoes. For every pair of shoes donated or purchased, we provide a pair to youth aged 13–18 who are in need, empowering them to reach their highest potential.
Understanding the Need
Many youths enter the Douglas County Youth Center without proper footwear, which can severely affect their morale and self-esteem. We recognize that not all families of detained youth are in a position to provide the necessary shoes. Our focus is on touching the lives of those who are vulnerable or disadvantaged, ensuring that they receive the support they need during this challenging time.
The Power of Shoes
Shoes play a crucial role in enhancing the overall well-being of youth. By providing quality tennis shoes, we aim to boost their sense of wholeness and dignity, making their experience at the center more positive. Our initiative not only offers physical comfort but also serves as a reward and incentive, motivating these young individuals to engage fully with the other services provided by the Douglas County Youth Center.
Our Vision
To offer assistance to every youth in need within the Douglas County Youth Center to be empowered to step forward into a bright future.
