Adaptt Rochester, Inc.
Building up women and children to empower themselves to achieve their beautiful, unique, and unlimited purpose.
Our Story: From Vision to Impact
Founders Tamara Howard and Angela Wollschlager started their careers in human services with a shared goal: to drive meaningful change. But they quickly ran into broken systems and barriers that prevented progress. They realized that to be effective, they had to adapt to the ever-evolving needs of the community and the people they served.
Our Vision: Empowering Women and Children
Adaptt Rochester envisions a future where every woman and child is empowered to lead a life of purpose and dignity. We're building a Rochester where self-sufficiency and limitless opportunities are not just a dream, but a reality for everyone.
Our Action: A Revolutionary Model
At ADAPTT, we've brought together a powerful team of women, including those with lived experience and professionals from human and social services. Together, we are creating a revolutionary model for transitional living. We provide homeless and at-risk women and children with the support, guidance, and love they need to achieve their own beautiful, unique, and unlimited potential.
