Reunification, kinship placement, or adoption may close one chapter in a family’s journey—but support is often still needed as they begin the next.

Through a partnership with The Duke Endowment, Landmarks for Families’ Family Success Coach Program provides families with individualized guidance to strengthen relationships, navigate behavioral and educational concerns, build parenting and communication skills, access community resources, and plan for greater stability.

Our Success Coaches do more than connect families with services. They work alongside them to solve problems, build resilience, and develop the tools needed to remain safely together and thrive.

This is family preservation in action: recognizing that lasting stability requires continued investment, trusted relationships, and support tailored to each family’s needs.

Landmarks for Families is excited to welcome Ignite Academy’s EQUIP Homes program to our residential services!

Through hands-on instruction and mentorship, our young people will develop practical skills in cooking and nutrition, budgeting, home management, communication, healthy relationships, hospitality, leadership, and more.

EQUIP Homes goes beyond teaching young people how to complete everyday tasks. It helps them build confidence, strengthen character, discover their purpose, and prepare for greater independence.

This new opportunity reflects our commitment to ensuring every young person in our care has the skills, support, and encouragement needed to build a thriving future.

We cannot wait to share their journey!

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹. 🎓
Landmarks for Families is proud of our partnership with 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝘆, which has allowed us to create a 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘀 for the young people who call Landmarks home.

What makes this partnership work is a shared belief that education is not one-size-fits-all. Together, Landmarks and Heron Virtual Academy focus on 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘀 grounded in 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗮-𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀, recognizing each student’s experiences, strengths, challenges, and goals.

For young people whose education may have been interrupted by circumstances beyond their control, simply getting them back into a classroom isn’t enough. We work with each student to understand where they are academically, identify what they need to move forward, and create an individual path toward success.

And our goal is ambitious: 𝗼𝗻-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲.

We are grateful to Heron Virtual Academy for sharing that vision and helping us create an educational environment where young people have the flexibility, support, and opportunity they need to keep moving forward.

As our Youth Rise summer program came to a close, our residential youth continued making the most of every opportunity to learn, grow, and try something new. 💙

From preparing meals during a hands-on cooking class with Heather, a Summerville local and owner of Food Kart, to building confidence through first-time swim lessons and exploring creativity at the Gibbes Art Museum and a local boutique art hotel, each experience helped strengthen valuable life skills and broaden their perspectives.

These moments are just a glimpse of an incredible summer filled with growth, discovery, and unforgettable experiences. Up next, we’ll be sharing highlights from our Youth Rise Graduation as we celebrate the incredible accomplishments of our residential youth.
