ROCK Grounded

IMG 0615On-site Programs

ROCK Grounded is our on-site program and is our longest running program, established in 2001 when we first opened our doors

Students come from all over Midland and the surrounding areas. They walk, get rides or take County Connection to get to the facility. Bullock Creek schools bus students here every school day.

ROCK Grounded allows us to have weekly and often daily opportunities to build relationships with all of our students. During the school year we offer every student a hot evening meal.

The ROCK Grounded Program…is about the 8th-grade girl who runs in from the bus and yells, “What’s to eat?” She throws her backpack to the ground and heads for the Office Manager. “Hey, math stunk but my art project is amazing! I have to go eat I’m starving – Love you see you tomorrow!” Translated she is saying, “I know The ROCK cares about my struggles and will help me to succeed. I know that The ROCK will feed me when I’m hungry. I know that The ROCK accepts me as I am. Committed, caring and consistent - I know The ROCK will be there for me – every day.”
