With a rich tradition of helping the needs of changing families, Family Life Services has its’ roots in a 70-year history serving Colorado Springs. Originally an orphanage named The Christian Home for Children, the 2.5 acre property, donated to John and Nan Walden, became home to 34 orphaned children before ultimately refining its’ mission in the 80’s to focus on rebuilding the lives of single moms and their children.
Committed to nurturing and preparing single-parent families deal with overwhelming challenges, Women of Courage merged with Family Life Services in 2012 to reach further into a community of need. The combined effort delivers even greater opportunity to encourage healing and self-sufficiency by providing low-fee, onsite living quarters, professional counseling, one-to-one mentoring, crisis assistance and life skills development. With a shared mission to afford each mom a safe, structured environment in which to rebuild their families, Family Life Services and Women of Courage Outreach are dedicated to expanding their networks and resources in order to make an even greater difference.
