Restoring hope, building futures
Join Healings Community Center in our mission to transform a historic landmark into Cleveland's first dedicated youth prevention center. Discover how we're building a foundation for children's success and restoring our community.
Our mission
Healings Community Center is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, founded by U.S. Air Force combat veteran Chauntoyia Edwards. Anchored in the healing ministry of Jesus Christ, we believe the Word of God is the most powerful weapon against every giant that threatens a child's future: poverty, violence, addiction, trauma, depression, rejection, and hopelessness.
Our prevention pillars
When restored, our 120-year-old historic church will become Cleveland's first dedicated youth prevention center. Our five prevention pillars address the whole child, ensuring every child deserves the chance to grow up whole.
Drug and alcohol prevention
Empowering youth with knowledge and skills to make healthy choices and avoid substance abuse.
Violence prevention
Fostering safe environments and teaching non-violent communication and conflict resolution.
Mental health and resilience
Supporting emotional well-being and building resilience to navigate life's challenges.
Tobacco and vaping prevention
Educating youth on the dangers of tobacco and vaping to promote a smoke-free future.
The restoration project
We are restoring a 120-year-old, 19,000 square foot historic landmark church at 334 E. 156th Street, Cleveland OH 44110. This ambitious project aims to create Cleveland's first dedicated youth prevention center. We are seeking $300,000 in donations, building materials, and skilled labor to complete the full rehabilitation. The greatest intervention is prevention.
