Part 3/8:
Every morning, Cara starts with a motivational ritual called "Motivations," where participants like Mikel lead engaging activities. This routine encourages confidence, connection, and a sense of belonging—crucial elements often lost among individuals experiencing homelessness and poverty. Public speaking, singing, and shared stories serve as powerful tools to rebuild self-esteem.
Cara recognizes that for many facing chronic homelessness, community is fractured. Their programs aim to restore that sense of unity by creating a loving, supportive environment where individuals feel valued and empowered. The organization believes that understanding a person’s identity is the foundation for fostering professional growth.
