ChildTrust Invests in StepUp

ChildTrust Foundation, , recently awarded a significant grant to StepUp Ministry’s Children’s Program. Their support helps StepUp provide high-quality programs to build school success. “The current crisis has only intensified our commitment to stand in solidarity with children and families in North Carolina,” said Cyndi Soter-O’Neil, policy advisor for ChildTrust Foundation. 

“We are extremely grateful to ChildTrust for their continued commitment,” stated Colisha Stanford, StepUp’s Director of Children’s and Young Adults Programs. “Their investment is at a critical time when our staff is providing virtual group programs and one-on-one support for children and their parents.”

“Our staff teaches parents using the evidence-based Positive Parenting Program,” Stanford added. “Parenting support is even more important during social distancing, and our staff continues to guide parents during this challenging time.” 

When group activities can resume, ChildTrust’s support will help provide arts, etiquette, and literary opportunities for children whose parents are in the Life Skills program and the young adults participating in the Real World program.
