About Us
The Strong House Foundation is a Christ-centered, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on improving the lives of at-risk and economically-challenged youth in the West Georgia area. Through early intervention, the Strong House Foundation works to redirect the paths of these children with love, encouragement, and support.
Strong House was launched in 2018 by Suzanne Young, Matt Young and Trey Travis. Sharing common beliefs, they have worked together to create a program for children who lack the full and necessary support at home needed for success. Strong House is a place for children to meet new friends and learn life skills that they may not have been taught. It is our intention to help our members learn about the positive things in life and make them comfortable with stepping outside of their comfort zones in their community, their school environment and at home.
How can you help?
Your support can vary — from monetary donations to acts of service… your efforts can help change the lives of many children for the better. Your contributions will enable us to meet our goals and improve conditions. Your generous donation will fund our mission.
We are dedicated to building the youth to become physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually stronger in Christ. When a child needs a place to go or to let loose a little bit, they come to our foundation. Strong House Foundation is a safe place where kids can be themselves and open up to us, when needed. Life lessons are taught through our programs to better prepare our children for the real world.
We care about the long-term development of at-risk youth. We understand that academic performance is crucial if one wants to grow in life. Because of this, our programs continue to inspire the youth to learn and grow every day.
“Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” — Proverbs 22:6
