Meet James, one of our incredible Ally who is serving at Community Gathering for the very first time!
At Change Course, Allies play a vital role in helping our leaders build meaningful relationships and a strong sense of community. As leaders take courageous steps toward new careers, personal growth, and brighter futures, Allies walk alongside them, offering encouragement, support, accountability, and a listening ear through life's challenges and victories.
James has stepped up to be part of that mission, investing his time and heart into helping others succeed. His willingness to serve reminds us that transformation doesn't happen alone, it happens in community.
Thank you, James, for saying "yes" to making a difference. We are grateful to have you as part of the Change Course family and look forward to the impact you'll have on the leaders you walk alongside.
There is HOPE in this city!

Friday night was unforgettable as we celebrated the graduation of our Theta Class!
Ten graduates stood before their families, friends, Allies, and community, marking the beginning of a powerful new chapter.
We are so proud of their courage, growth, and determination, and we can’t wait to see the impact they make as they step into their new lives. Congratulations, Theta class!

Last Thursday was a beautiful reminder that real change happens when a community shows up.
For our very first gala, the evening went better than we ever could have dreamed. We surpassed our $150,000 goal, and that only happened because of the incredible generosity of people who believe in this mission and the lives being changed through it.
To everyone who joined us, gave, served, and celebrated with us, thank you. Your support made the night deeply meaningful, and we are overwhelmed by the love that filled the room.
A special thank you to our incredible MC, Jim Mars, our auctioneer Damian Beard of BidWell Benefits, Sara Routh for setting the tone during cocktail hour, Betsy DeGlopper for capturing the evening so beautifully, and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels for closing out the night with so much energy and fun.
What happened that night was more than a successful event. It was a glimpse of what is possible when a community comes together around hope, restoration, and opportunity.
And the truth is, we’re just getting started. This is only the beginning. Because of your generosity, we get to keep building, keep believing, and keep walking alongside people as they pursue healing, purpose, and a new future.
Thank you for being part of it.
