We Are Becoming

… is a place of belonging

The We Are Becoming (WAB) mission is, at its core, a gospel mission. We believe that only through the work of Jesus Christ can a life be transformed. WAB will serve vulnerable young people, to give them hope and a future by providing a safe place to call home. Our vision is to see the compassion of Christ transform lives and communities. Our residential programs are designed as a place of safety and security during their time in the WAB home. We encourage and cultivate healthy relationships as well as support each resident's personal progress. We help prepare them in practical ways for successful independent living.

It all started when…

Helen and Stella had coffee.

The concept of We Are Becoming (WAB) was birthed from conversations over coffee between Helen and Stella. They discovered that there was a clear lack of services for vulnerable young people who were homeless and/or aged out of foster care system, and therefore, decided to focus on reaching young people who were at the highest risk to be trafficked and homeless and help guide them on a different path.

We Are Becoming is an Affiliation with Promised Land Covenant Church

In 2018, Helen and Stella connected with the leaders of the women’s ministry team of Promised Land Covenant Church (PLCC). Through much prayer and consideration, they have passed the work of We Are Becoming to be continued under the leadership of Cynthia Pena as PLCC’s Parachurch Ministry to serve the vulnerable young population of the Bronx Community.
