WE-Empower Family Alumni Association (WEFAA)

WEFAA is the bridge that sustains growth after the 10-week program. Alumni stay connected through monthly coaching, peer-led workshops, and family events that reinforce the skills and bonds built during WEF. Parents grow as mentors and advocates, while youth step into junior facilitator roles that prepare them for leadership. WEFAA ensures transformation continues beyond graduation, turning short-term breakthroughs into lasting resilience and community strength.

With over 70+ alumni across several cohorts (Summer 2019 – Winter 2025). We are building Community infrastructure to outlast any single program cycle. We host monthly Refresher Circles every second Thursday. Together we acknowledge and celebrate our shared commitment to community with the Annual Family BBQ and Nature Hike.

In time, dedicated Alumni will reshape and transition WEFAA from founder-led coordination to shared alumni governance through the WEFAA Leadership Council. This will result in permanent community infrastructure, not a program-dependent structure.

Trauma-Informed Mental Health Support

As part of our long-term healing approach, WE–Empower Family now offers culturally responsive mental health support for alumni families through our new Clinical Director, Colette Katuala and our partnership with Focused Clinical Solutions. ​

These services are trauma-informed, family-centered, and exclusive to graduates of the WEF 10-week core program. Support includes optional virtual or in-person sessions, group therapy opportunities, and referrals for specialized care—all grounded in cultural humility and healing justice frameworks. This collaboration reflects our belief that community care and clinical care must work together to support the full wellbeing of families.
