Mission
ONEHEART: A PLACE FOR HOPE & HEALING IS A FOUR-ACRE TRANSFORMATION CAMPUS IN RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA, WITH A MISSION OF EMPOWERING PEOPLE TO OVERCOME CRISIS AND ACHIEVE SELF-SUSTAINABILITY. BUILT UPON THE PRINCIPLES OF BRAIN SCIENCE AND CHOICE ARCHITECTURE, ONEHEART'S MODEL ENCOURAGES TRUE TRANSFORMATION THROUGH INFORMED DECISION-MAKING AND POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL CHANGES. AFTER NEARLY FOUR YEARS OF INTENSIVE RESEARCH, INTENTIONAL PLANNING, AND CAMPUS ACQUISITION AND RENOVATIONS, ONEHEART OPENED ITS DOORS TO THE FIRST ENROLLEES IN JANUARY 2021. ONEHEART PROVIDES TRANSITIONAL HOUSING AND MEETS OTHER BASIC NEEDS AT NO COST TO PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS (OUR "GUESTS") SO THEY CAN FOCUS ON FURTHERING THEIR JOB, SKILL, AND/OR EDUCATION LEVELS TO FOSTER UPWARD MOBILITY. THE GOAL IS THAT GUESTS LEAVE THE CAMPUS WITH STEADY INCOMES AND HOUSING OPTIONS SO THEY CAN ESCAPE THE CRISIS OF POVERTY PERMANENTLY AND EXPERIENCE A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE.
