The Howard and Elizabeth Caldwell Foundation (HEC) is created to empower children and teens, and special needs youth and families, including disenfranchised individuals and the physically and emotionally abused or challenged; through education, empowerment initiatives, and self-development strategies. Through strategically planned programs and collaborations, HEC will help our participants feel lighter in spirit, more resilient to life’s scattered hurdles, and more appreciative of the good things around them.
We’ll accomplish self-empowering initiatives by helping participants become clearer about their own identity and abilities – what they want in life – their life vision – and how to consciously transform their life for the better. No matter what they may be dealing with, participants will learn how their beliefs can shape the rest of their life through age-appropriate programming.
