Mission West Virginia works throughout the state to help bring partners together to do what West Virginians do best - help each other with unique, local solutions to societal problems. We envision within West Virginia:

Strong communities in which the disadvantaged and disenfranchised are served adequately through the collaborative efforts of government, faith communities, community based groups,

and other entities by setting differences aside and uniting around a common mission. Faith communities and non-profit organizations, energized, equipped and actively participating in fulfilling their mission and positively impacting their local communities.

On this day 29 years ago, Mission West Virginia started with a commitment to strengthening families across the state. Today, our staff from every corner of West Virginia are in Charleston together for our Annual Capacity Training.

Twenty-nine years of foster and adoptive families, kinship caregivers, and youth who needed someone in their corner. Twenty-nine years of changing life trajectories by providing life skills and education. Twenty-nine years of community partnerships and folks who have advocated on our behalf. Twenty-nine years of staff doing the work that makes that possible.

We are thankful for each incredible person on this team that makes Mission WV who we are. ❤️💛💚

Buffalo High School welcomed us at their open house last week and it was a wonderful event for the entire community. We were set up among other local organizations, there was a scavenger hunt, hotdogs, cookies, and a photo booth! Buffalo High School welcomed our Bridge Program into their school last year and we are so proud to continue working with them.

Big thanks to Crane Charitable Funds for their continued partnership with Mission West Virginia!

Our staff had a wonderful time attending the Putnam County Back to School Bash and the Back to School event at Riverside High School! It was a great way to kick off the new school year, connect with our community, and welcome students and families back to school. We’re excited for all the opportunities this year will bring!

We are incredibly excited to share that through close work with the West Virginia Department of Human Services, the Mission WV Kinship Navigator program was recognized for an Exemplary Kinship Practice by the Grandfamilies & Kinship Support Network.

When developing this program years ago, we quickly identified communication as a barrier to success for WV families stepping up to care for relatives and loved ones in times of great need. The WV DoHS heard those concerns and responded by expanding accessibility to kinship caregivers through an integrated partnership with Mission WV's Kinship Navigator Program.

By granting Kinship Navigators access to integrated communication tools, our dedicated team is able receive referrals quickly and consistently, collaborate directly with caseworkers, access real-time case information, and stay connected throughout a family's journey. As one caregiver put it, "Just talking to [my navigator] and her making connections has been a HUGE weight lifted."

Thanks for recognizing what is working here in WV!
