A little bit about
|
After working as Homeless Liaison for Waco Independent School District for five years, Cheryl Pooler saw a huge problem. As she met with student after student who had been abused, abandoned, or kicked out of his or her home, she knew that they needed a safe place to go after the school bell rang each afternoon. She knew that these students deserved a chance to succeed and that the Waco community would not stand to see them fall through the cracks into chronic homelessness.
In September 2016, The Cove hired its first executive director, Teri Holtkamp, and in October began serving its first cohort of students. |
THE COVE is a teen nurturing center designed to provide a safe space for students experiencing homelessness to access the resources they need to thrive.
