Mission Statement
Mettle Child exists to restore the spirit of every child who has suffered abuse, neglect, and exploitation by actuating mindful self-compassion through excellence in art, care, mentoring, and play.
Committed to love and serve creatively, Mettle Child fulfills our charge by cultivating environments where children can live, learn, work and play happily and free from suffering via a high standard of monitoring safety and stability whilst integrating meaningful in-home and community-based crisis prevention and early intervention provisions. |
Our Vision
Mettle Child envisions empowered children returning to the unfussiness and enjoyment of childhood. It is our resolute belief that, for restorative transformation, it is necessary to foster a child with open and unique extracurricular and social experiences, as well as supportive services centered towards influencing courage, mettle, and ardor.
You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?
It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
-Matthew 5:13
Salt of the Earth, Light of the World
