A hand up, not a handout. You walk into just a shelter where all we do is house you overnight. You know nothing is happening other than I'm being housed overnight. There is no step forward. It's a band-aid on a bigger problem here. No, you're telling us you're ready to not be whatever it is you are right at that moment.
When Roger Hamacher joined the MY House team, it wasn't just a career move—it was a mission to make a real difference. In this episode, host Michelle Overstreet sits down with Roger, now the COO of MY House, to discuss why he chose to be part of this incredible organization and what makes their approach to care so impactful. Forget about handouts; MY House believes in offering a 'hand up'.
Roger shares how this philosophy drives their work, helping young people in Wasilla, Alaska, overcome challenges like homelessness, addiction, and abuse. Through holistic support and removing barriers to self-reliance, MY House creates genuine pathways to success. Roger's passion for empowering the youth shines through as he talks about the transformative power of community support and resilience. If you're curious about how dedicated individuals are making a tangible impact on young lives, this episode is a must-listen.
