For a long time, the individuals served by Skylark: A Sexual Health + Care Clinic in Brunswick, Georgia, earned points to buy items simply based on their class attendance and participation. But the clinic wanted to do more than just reward people for showing up. They wanted to dig into each person's unique story and help them cast a vision for a flourishing life.

After attending a True Charity Community Workshop, they decided to completely change the way they had always done things. They began to view those they serve as truly capable people.

Because of this hard work, Skylark Clinic was recently honored with True Charity's Waypoint Award for their continuous improvement along the path to effective charity. They completely revamped their “Earn While You Learn” Program. By implementing the Case Management and Goal Setting MAP, their team now actively gauges each client's specific strengths and weaknesses. Today, they award points based on a client's actual progress and effort toward their personalized goals, rather than just basic attendance.

Changing a long-standing system can feel hard or overwhelming. But, Skylark Clinic stands as a commendable "waypoint"—a marker—for other nonprofits to follow. Let their story encourage you to look past the surface, see the incredible potential in the people you serve, and take the steps to focus on better, long-term results. You are seen, your hard work matters, and as iron sharpens iron, we are all growing together! ... See MoreSee Less
