Parenting With Intent

Parenting With Intent (PWI) is a community based nonprofit social work agency. We provide intensive services to youth in foster care and families involved with the child welfare system. Our Values Through skillful engagement, we strive to establish trusting relationships and meaningful connections so that individuals are empowered to find the voice to advocate for their needs and the confidence to pursue their aspirations. We believe healthy relationships are the vehicle through which our youth and families are able to grow and thrive. It is our hope that each person involved in our program learns to identify an authentic sense of self, develop and sustain healthy relationships, recognize and participate in safe communities and ultimately live their lives with intention. Our Commitment to Equity At PWI, we recognize the institutional and cultural inequities that exist in history and continue to persist in the multiple systems of our lives. Individuals involved in the Child Welfare system are particularly vulnerable to these inequities. Lack of access to essential and culturally relevant resources further marginalize these communities and impact their success and wellbeing. We are committed to pushing equity forward and igniting change by supporting our youth and families as they work to achieve their goals. Our Agency Culture PWI is a special and unique environment where ideas are valued, visions are shared and people are empowered. We are intentional about creating a workspace that values trust and collaboration and believe that individuals thrive when they feel cared for and supported. All positions at PWI encourage creativity and include flexibility in order to meet the fluctuating needs of the people we serve. Our team members work to establish healthy connections within their work relationships and operate from a strong commitment to furthering the Mission of PWI. We set ourselves apart by hold
