Transforming Lives in WNC

At Educate 4 Success, our mission is to provide shelter and support to young individuals in our community who have aged out of foster care or lack the parent support to become self sufficient. We believe that everyone deserves a safe and comfortable place to call home, and we work tirelessly to make that a reality.

Bridging Transitions: Educate for Success Paves the Path for Foster Youth in Cherokee County
A beacon of hope flickers for teens aging out of foster care, as they often stand on the precipice of uncertainty. Facing the daunting challenges of adulthood, these young individuals are welcomed by the nurturing embrace of a new nonprofit organization, 

315 Family Church Road is the home of Educate 4 Success.  The 18,000 square foot building, previously a church facility is in the process of being converted to office spaces, meeting spaces and emergency residence.  The doors are open to all non-profits who need space and is already the home of WVO (Warrior Veterans Outreach), Toys for Tots of Cherokee County, and the Rotary Club of Murphy.  As our student residents utilize the space for workforce development and training the synergy and connection to other non profits will promote connections and modeling that so many of our participants need.

We offer a variety of programs to help young individuals get on their feet or back on their feet. From college enrollment, to job training to mental health counseling, we provide the resources and support necessary to help individuals achieve their goals.
