Mission

The Sheridan Road Charitable Foundation’s mission is to improve the experiences of young people that will lead to positive long-term life outcomes.

OUR VISION IS TO...

  • Be a national umbrella organization that helps bring together similar social service groups through various geographic regions to collaborate, expand, and/or share best-practices.
  • Look for organizations at the nexus of the connection of our core areas of focus that are paramount, integral and foundational to long-term life success.
  • Bring together a national advisory board from all over the country to shine a spotlight on our core areas of focus to identify ideas and organizations that will improve life outcomes for young people.
  • Provide a national footprint of support to organizations through a local lens. Cross-pollinate solutions that work among similar organizations.
  • Support visionaries at the front line who have unique solutions and can provide support systems needed to help the next generation to improve their life outcomes.
  • Live up to the Foundation’s slogan “The Road to Change Begins Here.” This conveys the message that change is possible and that one group can make a difference.
