Exile International

Mission Statement

Children as young as 7 are kidnapped and forced to fight in rebel armies. Psychologically tortured and brainwashed – children are enslaved, forced to fight and to kill.

Many are forced to participate in violence against their own families and communities. Still more are abducted and abused, becoming victims of rape and sexual violence.

Those fortunate enough to escape or be released are left with deep and enduring emotional scars from what they’ve seen and been forced to do. Many are unable to return home because they have either lost or been rejected by their families.

Exile International exists to empower rescued child soldiers and children orphaned by war to be leaders for peace through art-focused trauma care and holistic rehabilitation.

F.I.N.D. Design

Mission Statement

The F.I.N.D. DESIGN exists to mitigate the effects of systemic and personal trauma on Black girls, and other girls of color ages 11-17, by providing safe spaces for healing, long-term mentorships, and programming that transform their mental health and overall well-being.

Family and Children’s Service

Mission Statement

Family & Children’s Service (F&CS) serves all people in crisis and transition by meeting them where they are, understanding their needs, and connecting them to the resources they need. F&CS often ‘fills in the gaps’ in social services, creating a safety net to ensure that all children and families can be safe and healthy. Each year we provide services to more than 50,000 Tennesseans.

Our mission is to connect individuals and families to hope, to healing, and to one another.
