womanhood facing many of the same challenges.

 

The foundation has three primary programs (i.e., Mary's House, Mary's Haven, and Mary's Promise), each aimed at helping our targeted age groups reenter society with the college and career readiness to be successful.

 

Services are designed and facilitated by individuals who have transcended similar traumatic backgrounds but are now productive, contributing members of society. We also provide long-term support, mentorship, and follow-up for several years.

VISION

The Mary Hines Johnson Foundation envisions a future where every socioeconomically disadvantaged or at-risk girl and woman is empowered to seize control of her destiny, preserve her inherent dignity, and realize her fullest potential.

Through our commitment to fostering self-determination, preservation, and actualization—we aim to create a society where all girls and women can lead fulfilling lives and contribute to their communities, regardless of their past circumstances or traumatic histories.
