We developed a nonprofit name that signified our mission and vision in a word- STRIDES. S.T.R.I.D.E.S. stands for Strategy To Reduce Incarceration by Delivering Evidence-based Services. The mission for STRIDES is, “To empower and equip at-risk youth with the life skills needed to reach their full potential." We accomplish our mission statement, one CHILD, one COMMUNITY and one COUNTY at a time.
