Royal Family Kids Grants Pass

Royal Family Kids Grants Pass is a program aimed at children ages 6-12 who are in foster care in Josephine County Oregon. The program focus is on: Camp: A one week event designed to provide self-esteem building experiences through counselors and other volunteers. Mentoring: Children participating in the camp program meet with trained counselors on a weekly basis to maintain skills and relationships learned at camp. Club: Monthly meetings and field trips with counselors to further continue the campers' development. 55 children served.

At the Well exists to help families create legacies of resilience and perseverance while encouraging family bonding, and offering communities of support. We accomplish this through group parenting education, peer support, and one-on-one coaching. Our goal is to be a cheerleader for the cycle breakers and support them with the knowledge and courage they need to change how their family has been parenting for generations before them. Over 200 parents and children were served in 2022.

Every Child program works directly with foster children in the local area and helps to engage the community with foster children and the Department of Human Services (state agency that oversees the foster care system locally). There are approximately 500 children annually that are in foster care in the local community. 300 foster children and parents served with tangible needs and events. EVENT: Foster Parent Appreciation Carnival served 45 kids and their foster families with games, food, fun activities such as face painting and bounce houses, and raffle prizes for all in the family. Christmas Movie Night we set up a giant screen for a movie and provided hot chocolate with marshmallows and candy canes and popcorn. Served 15 kids and their foster families. Christmas Party at ODHS with a Santa, snacks, crafts, and Christmas gifts. Served 120 children and their bio families.

Celebrate Recovery is a faith based classic 12 step recovery group that deals with the controlling hurts and habits of life, not just the chemical addiction. We serve a community of about 75 people and their children. While participants are sometimes fluid in their attendance, we offer large weekly meetings as well as smaller more in depth meetings. We collaborate with other service providers as well as the Josephine County Drug Court.

Community Bridges coordinates several community programs.
