Our Vision for the Future

Goap Mountain is not just an initiative; it's a dream in the process of becoming a reality. We envision a future where every individual in Southern Oregon experiencing homelessness is empowered to lead a life of dignity and purpose. Our dream is a community where everyone, irrespective of their current housing situation, can access stable housing, meaningful employment, high-quality food, and optimal health. We see our neighbors, regardless of their circumstances, as valuable members of a vibrant local community.

Our Mission and Aspirations

Our mission at Goap Mountain is to embark on a transformative journey. We aim to focus on those who are unsheltered or under-sheltered, offering not just aid but opportunities for personal growth, employment, and community integration. We believe in the transformative power of support that extends beyond immediate relief to avenues for personal and societal contribution. Our approach is multifaceted, encompassing employment initiatives, skills training, community-building efforts, and advocacy for food justice.

Our Approach and Goals

Central to our philosophy is the concept of "accompaniment," a forward-thinking approach that involves supporting each individual’s unique journey towards self-sufficiency and community reintegration. We understand that each person’s path is distinct, and we are committed to providing tailored support. Our future goals revolve around key outcomes: securing stable housing, enabling gainful employment, enhancing health and wellness, ensuring food security, and fostering personal growth.

Our Planned Programs

At Goap Mountain, we envision a range of programs that align with our mission. These future initiatives are designed to focus on environmental stewardship, job readiness through practical experiences, and community engagement. We plan to offer meaningful work opportunities that benefit not only the participants but also positively impact the community. From nurturing community green spaces to contributing to sustainable local food systems, the work will be diverse and significant.

Empowering Future Participants

Our vision includes providing a platform where individuals can develop skills, build confidence, and gain valuable experience. By engaging in tasks that foster a sense of accomplishment and belonging, participants will have the opportunity to grow and take on more complex roles, enhancing their readiness for regular employment and community life.

Building Community

At the core of Goap Mountain is a deep belief in the power of community. Our future efforts aim to extend beyond individual support; we aspire to create a stronger, interconnected social fabric. This will foster mutual understanding, dismantle barriers, and cultivate a more inclusive and compassionate society.

Our Commitment to the Future

We are committed to nurturing this vision into a reality. Goap Mountain is about rekindling hope, restoring dignity, and rebuilding lives. We stand at the threshold of a journey that holds the promise of making a significant difference in the lives of our neighbors and our community. Join us as we strive to turn this vision into a tangible, life-changing reality.
