✨ The Path is to the Person ✨

🏛 Our Grand Commitment

To cut the ribbon on a modern, all-inclusive, university-style campus where people experiencing homelessness can:

🛏 Live in dignified housing
💪 Heal with extended detox, recovery, and wellness care
🏃‍♂️ Train with health and fitness resources
📚 Learn WaveMaker principles and leadership skills
🌱 Grow through mentorship and alumni support

This campus is more than a dream — it is a plan in motion.

🌟 Our Initiatives

🤝 WaveMaker Mentorship

One-on-one mentorship is at the heart of everything we do.

Certified WaveMaker Mentors walk alongside WaveRiders (individuals experiencing homelessness) to restore dignity and purpose using the 12 WaveMaker Principles: positivity, empathy, kindness, and active listening.

We have already proven what we can do with little. Now imagine what we can achieve with your help.
