Project SAF: Meeting Needs, Building Connections

Posted: May 31, 2026 | Author: Real Life Staff
Today we are catching up with one of our Project SAF (Safe, Alive, and Free) Life Coaches, Demetrius. Recently, he took one of his clients out for a much-needed haircut. Demetrius shared, “It’s important for us to assist our clients with the ‘little big things’ such as hygiene items, food, clothing, and even a haircut.

What may seem trivial to most people actually means a great deal to those who can’t afford it. Through unconditional stewardship, we are able to build rapport that develops into a genuine connection.”

Our Life Coaches provide guidance, wisdom, and direction to young people in our community, but building trust and connection first is foundational. As Demetrius says, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”

We are incredibly proud of the work our Project SAF team continues to do every day.
