Adaptt Rochester, Inc.
Building up women and children to empower themselves to achieve their beautiful, unique, and unlimited purpose.
Co-Founders Tamara Howard and Angela Wollschlager began their careers in human services, hoping to help make real change. Their experiences showed them all of the barriers and broken systems in place that prevented change from taking place. One thing they noticed is that time is ever-changing, and so are people. To ensure that change is effective, they learned how important it is to have the ability to ADAPTT to the evolving needs of the community and its people.
Adaptt Rochester envisions a future where every woman and child in our community is empowered to embrace their unique potential, leading lives of purpose, dignity, and boundless possibility. We strive for a Rochester where self-sufficiency, meaningful lives, and limitless opportunities are within reach for all.
At ADAPTT, Tamara and Angela teamed with a powerful board of women who have lived experience, professionals who have worked in Human and Social Services fields, and others who have held key positions, and are working together to create a revolutionary model of transitional living. They plan to give homeless and at-risk women and children the support, guidance, and love that will empower them to achieve their own beautiful, unique, unlimited purpose.
