Grace Period is a nonprofit organization established in 2010 and dedicated to advancing healing, empowerment, and self-sufficiency for individuals and communities impacted by adversity.

We serve children, youth, and adults—particularly those facing systemic barriers—through mentorship, education, mental health support, holistic wellness programming, and leadership development. Our work is grounded in trauma-responsive, dignity-centered practices that strengthen emotional resilience, confidence, and long-term wellbeing.

Grace Period’s programs are designed to address the root causes of instability and disengagement by providing consistent support, skill-building opportunities, and pathways to personal and community leadership. While much of our work focuses on underserved and at-risk youth, we also support adults and professionals seeking tools for emotional wellness, personal growth, and sustainable success.

At the core of our mission is a simple but powerful belief:

…in life,  we all need a Grace Period.

This principle guides our commitment to meeting people where they are, honoring their potential, and creating opportunities for healing, growth, and lasting change.
