Program History:
Open World Family Services, Inc. has been in existence since the year 2000, when we first began working with families through our many community partners. One family at a time, we mentored and empowered each member to reach and achieve to the best of his or her ability. We began our own programs in 2005 with small learning center in the den of one of our benefactors.
After Hurricane Katrina took away all of our material resources, we began rebuilding in 2006, and hosted our fist summer enrichment program in 2007 in the home of this same benefactor, which was no longer a home, but an empty building. With the help of our community partners, we were able to serve more than 50 children that summer.
As we grow and excel, our strong partnerships with the State of Louisiana and organizations like the Children's Defense Fund, Open World is now able to serve more than 500 families each year. Almost 10 years later, we can now say that our goal to impact families, make them stronger is being fulfilled and the dream and hope to take these activities globally are becoming a reality.
Events:
Open World's purpose is to change lives through services and programs placed in the communities where we work. We help families and individuals reach their life, educational, and training goals. We also assist individuals and families learn, learn how to think outside of the box, and develop skills to reach their full potential.
