What We Do
We empower, educate and coach young women who have aged out of foster care to utilize life skills and community resources to support their ability to sustain an independent lifestyle.
EMPOWERING – creating a new normal through self-actualization
It’s our goal to create a new normal for each one of our young women. It’s important that the mentors start by laying a strong foundation to build a trusting relationship. Through that relationship true hopes and dreams – some buried in self-doubt or shattered by words of discouragement – can be brought to life. Self-confidence leading to the recognition of what can be and regardless of or in spite of past experiences is another step in creating the new normal and empowering these young women to embrace life.
EDUCATING – personalized for each individual
Whatever the goal, education is a must. Whether it’s a GED, a post-secondary degree (associate, bachelor, master’s, and beyond), vocational training, or certification of some sort, your goals direct your educational requirements.
COACHING – creating an environment of trust to assist each young lady in accomplishing her potential
Our coaches are mentors committed to supporting your vision, directing you to appropriate resources, and cheering you on through your journey. Operating from a base of core values, each mentor coach willingly puts in the time required to produce a successful outcomes.

About Dr. Natalie Ellington –
Founder, Executive Director
When I consider my transitional years (when I was 18 and knew everything) when I was questioning all the craziness I was experiencing, I’m grateful that there were people that chose to help me even when I made it clear I didn’t want their help. I also know the pain of doing it on my own and wanting help that didn’t materialize. I recognize and appreciate that when I wasn’t lovable, someone loved me enough to tolerate my attitude, my selfishness and my rebellious behavior to get me through those seasons of life. Now that I’m older and wiser it’s my turn to be there during the transitional years for these young ladies. Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and learning life lessons from some incredible women. I hope to be an incredible example to the young women we’ll serve through Eileen & Callie’s Place.
