THANKS TO OUR FOUNDERS

KAITLYN CHAPMAN & LUC JASMIN

"NEYFS was initially started to support youth in meeting their developmental milestones and succeed in school readiness.

What we found along the way is that there are so many factors that play a role in a child's success. We adapted our model to support multiple generations and integrate nutrition and community building. We are focused on empowering families in the work they put into growing our future generations."

Kaitlyn Chapman, Founder & Board Member

WE ARE PROUD TO FOLLOW

Our Core Values

Sustainability

We aim to support individuals and families in long-term sustainability rather than needing continued interventions by providing people the resources and skills that they need in order to be in a place where they can advocate for themselves.

Equity

We aim to support individuals and families in long-term sustainability rather than needing continued interventions by providing people the resources and skills that they need in order to be in a place where they can advocate for themselves.

Authenticity

Encouraging everyone to show up as themselves. Not asking anyone to change anything about themselves in order to be a part of our community. We focus on transparency with families.

Respect

Mutual respect, focusing less on right versus wrong but rather holding space for individuals as they are and honoring that.

Community

Integrating ourselves into a community that already exists, acknowledging the capability and power of the individual within the community, while partnering with the community to work against systemic prejudices.

Holistic

Acknowledging that nothing in our lives operates independently, considering all factors including mental, physical, and emotional health, safety, nutrition and so much more.
