Our Approach

Every day at Xiente, we are working side-by-side with children, youth, and families to create a path from poverty to prosperity. Grounded in 45 years of trust and action, our approach is not one-size-fits-all—it is responsive, place-based, and rooted in the belief that families already hold the strength to transform their lives. We are here to support that transformation.

With Children

We provide safe, nurturing spaces for early learning, after-school support, and social-emotional growth. Our team ensures children are not only school-ready but future-ready.

We’re creating generational wealth because we don’t want our children to struggle like us.

With Youth

We guide youth through academic achievement, career exploration, leadership development, and life skills. Whether it’s a GED, a college path, or entering the workforce, we stand with them as they build their futures.

I was able to get my kids into an after-school program that was affordable.

With Families

We offer holistic services that include case management, financial literacy, housing support, workforce development, and peer connection. Every family works with a team that listens, supports, and walks the journey with them.

Even when I was laid off, they didn’t let me go. I felt like I gained another family who stood by me, supported me, and believed in me.

How We Work: Empower. Connect. Advocate.

• Empower through education, training, and resources
• Connect through networks, mentorship, and shared experiences
• Advocate for systems change driven by community voice

From classrooms to community centers, counseling sessions to advocacy tables—we are present, consistent, and committed. This is how we do the work. This is how families move forward.
