Roz Willey and Binny Luechtefeld in our Covenant Closet
The Assistance League of St. Louis, a non-profit volunteer service organization dedicated to identifying, developing, implementing and funding philanthropic programs in the St. Louis area recently assisted CHMO. The Assistance League generously donated much needed bus passes and purchased household items for our Covenant Closet. Our Covenant Closet is an incentive program funded through the Zonta Grant where our youth can use “Covenant Cash” to purchase items for independent living. THANK YOU ASSISTANCE LEAGUE & ZONTA!

The Color Purple
Posted by admin | Filed under Announcements, Covenant House Youth
Our youth spent last month reading and discussing, “The Color Purple” by Alice Walker. As they followed the story of Celie, they talked about domestic violence, sexual abuse and broken relationships. Many of them could relate to the ongoing hurt and isolation Celie felt. A New Cornerstone, Inc. provided workshops on healthy relationships and guest speakers helped the kids recognize and deal with problems in their own relationships. The month long experience concluded with the amazing opportunity to see the Broadway play at the Fox Theatre (a first for all our kids)!

Meet CHMO’s Newest Residents
Posted by admin | Filed under Announcements, Covenant House Youth
Meet Moe, Rocky, Zed and Ginger – CHMO’s new four legged residents. The dogs are part of a local program called “Loosen the Leash.” They’ll be living here for 8 weeks with one primary care giver and one assistant. Our kids will be nurturing them and training them so they can be adopted out into the community. Our youth not only learn how to care for and discipline the dogs, they learn patience, respect and perseverence – tools we all need to succeed. This pilot program at Covenant House seems to be a great success so far. Dogs and kids are enjoying each other and learning much!
