Empowering Communities, Transforming Lives


We are here to help individuals and families succeed. At Reclaiming Our Greatness (ROG), our mission is to empower and support Black and other impacted communities as they navigate housing, education, and legal systems in Washington State. We provide wrap-around services that prioritize culturally responsive care, addressing immediate needs while fostering long-term stability.

Through advocacy, education, and collaboration with community partners, we help families reclaim their greatness, even after life’s most difficult challenges.

Our Vision:

We envision a future where everyone — regardless of race or background—has the opportunity to grow, learn from mistakes, and build the skills needed to thrive.

Core Values:

  • Equity: Building fairness and trust between our community, staff, and board.
  • Empowerment: Honoring the voices and lived experiences of those we serve.
  • Innovation: Creating bold, client-focused solutions for complex challenges.
  • Compassion: Delivering culturally appropriate and trauma-informed care.

Why We Do It:

We believe in the potential and greatness within each individual. It’s this belief that fuels our passion and inspires us to create meaningful change in the lives of those we serve.
