Mission
Take the next step (ttns) is a grass-roots, faith-based, nonprofit organization whose mission is to offer friendship, help, and hope to our neighbors in need. We accomplish this through as a snohomish county certified family resource center as our central program and our unhoused outreach program, kidz club after school program, community dinner, and growing together teen moms group to bring hollistic programmatic suppport to our community.
Programs
4 programs
Kidz club after school program: kidz club after school program re-started in 2023 with 45 students registered in our tuesday/thursday program, and 56 students registered in the fall of our 2024-2025 school year. Students are grouped with same grade students and led by consistent volunteers (adult and middle/high school) to support their academic growth as well as their social and emotional learning. We implement the protective factors into our program model and love seeing the children reach for more learning and growth opportunities.
Unhoused outreach was a shift from our previous (pre-covid) drop-in center model and it was so successful throughout the pandemic, it remains its own program now. Three times a week, we load up our van with food, hygiene supplies, clothing and supplies and drive throughout our community to ensure our homeless neighbors are safe and well. Volunteers prepare and fill big grocery bags of healthy, no-cook food and other supplies. Our program director has mobile visits and is able to support many diverse needs such as transportation, phone assistance, shelter, mental health, substance use support and so much more.
Community dinner ran its first full year after re-opening in later 2022. By the end of 2024, the program has fully superceded its numbers and enagement prior to the pandemic, finishing off the year serving 5,821 meals to hundreds of weekly guests.
Growing together teen moms group: young mothers are connected to local mentors to walk alongside them in their new journey of motherhood, while also still navigating adolescence themselves. Our program provides a mix of education and fun outings to build a strong connection among the mothers, as well as provide access to infomation and opportunities they otherwise may not have.
