Learn more about our services from Dr. Natalie on Day 1 of our campaign! Dr. Natalie Ellington is the founder of Eileen and Callie’s Place (ECP), a nonprofit aimed at empowering, educating, and coaching young women who have aged out of the foster care system. She took her first class with Communities Rise nearly ten years ago to learn the basics of starting a 501(c)(3). “Communities Rise was instrumental in helping me establish my organization because I had no experience starting a nonprofit, working in social services, or even with the foster care system.” This year alone, 44 women are engaged in ECP’s program and 13 have requested ongoing mentorship

It’s been an honor to watch this incredible organization blossom into a vital resource for this community. We had a chance to sit down with Dr. Natalie to talk about the growth of Eileen and Callie’s Place. Click below to watch!
