Career and Technical Education (CTE) is helping our nation address key challenges—from workforce development to student achievement, from economic vitality to global competitiveness. With more than 14 million students nationwide, CTE programs in high schools and post-secondary institutions are leading change, transforming expectations and making a difference. CTE is learning that works for America: employers, community leaders, economic development professionals, schools and colleges, policy makers, students, parents, and local economies. For all of us, CTE is having a profound and positive impact on America.

The individuals we assist, often residing in areas difficult to access, lack alternative means to obtain healthcare services, underscoring the critical nature of our mission.

When children are removed from their homes out of concern for their safety, they are usually brought to a child welfare services office to await placement. This wait can be a few hours to several days. These children often have nothing with them and are scared, lonely, hungry, and in dirty clothing.

Isaiah 117 provides a comforting home where these children instead can be brought to wait – a place that is safe with friendly and loving volunteers who provide clean clothes, smiles, toys, and snuggly blankets. This space allows children to receive the comfort and care they need while child welfare staff can do the necessary paperwork and identify a good placement.

The mission of Isaiah 117 House is threefold:

• reduce trauma for children awaiting placement

• lighten the load for child welfare services

• ease the transition for foster families
