Over the past 13 years, together we’ve come alongside over 1400 youth from crisis– from those aging out of foster care, navigating foster care and adoption, experiencing homelessness or human trafficking, and other traumas. The community has stepped up in big ways, and there is more work to be done! The fulfillment of our mission is made possible with the help of committed individuals like you.
Below, you’ll find photos from the Bites on the River as well as video footage of one of the highlights of the evening— a live panel of youth sharing their experiences in foster care and past traumas, as well as their journey at Immerse.
“We long for a better day and envision an expansive pathway to healing available to every youth from crisis in Arkansas. A pathway so expansive that the steps to a successful transition to adulthood are clearly visible, easily accessible, and fully reliable for youth from crisis and their families across our state.” - Eric Gilmore
How to continue partnering
Our big goal is to build an expansive pathway to healing that is available to every youth from crisis in Arkansas. This is a goal that will take all of us to accomplish! You can continue partnering in this work by giving to support more Overcomers, scheduling a tour of The OC Youth Center, or signing up to attend a volunteer orientation.
