CoCo Corner

Cornucopia believes that, "It takes a village to raise a child". The mission of Cornucopia is to provide collaborative supportive services that promote self-sufficiency and community empowerment to all members of the community. The goal of Cornucopia is to facilitate self-sufficiency by working with cross sector stakeholders in the community to improve the health and wellbeing (wellness) of the family. Participants receive specialized case management and coaching that links medical, psychological, social services, the school environment, childcare, and development services. We work with the appropriate services and referral systems that are in place to meet the comprehensive needs of the family.

When I look at our youth and teen parents, I see a person with so much potential. It’s one thing to tell someone they need to change, but providing the resources and tools to assist them in the transition of change is key. The program I work with — CoCo Corner — helps youth, teen mothers, and teen fathers transition into adulthood or parenthood by providing those needed resources and tools such as childcare and support services to help them continue their educational goals. We realize that it takes a village to raise a child. One entity cannot do it alone. We do our part by creating a family –oriented environment with strong emphasis on goal setting, community involvement, and personal development. We wish to plant in every participant's heart the notion that they have goodness within themselves, and something positive to contribute to society.
