The Six Promises - Our Business Model
Today is no different, in many respects. We have remained flexible in our service model and have been proactive in adding and improving the services we provide to clients. At our core, we focus on two key areas: healthcare and education. Our programming reflects that focus, and we build on our competencies to provide:
| Health care | Education |
| Adoption | Individual and family counseling |
| Women’s & Children’s Health Services | Special education |
| Mental health care | Foster care |
| Transitional housing and support | Youth ministry |
But today is very different in many respects. We are embarking on a transformational process that will align our every effort with the national model of the Five Promises. Created by America's Alliance for Youth, we have made the Five Promises Model our own, and added a sixth Promise. Those promises are:
 | |
| Caring adults | |
| Safe places | |
| Healthy starts | |
| Effective education | |
| Opportunities to serve | |
| Opportunities for a spiritual connection |
- We are committed to this transformational process these Six Promises to our clients each and every day, and will form Promise People in our clients, staff, board, volunteers and donors.
- We are committed to this transformational process that will drive the Six Promises to become the foundation of our business model, including service delivery, human resource development, financial stewardship and mission advancement.
- We are committed to this transformational process that will become our footprint for both daily action and strategic growth.
- We are committed to this transformational process that will change lives and change society.
Our Logo
Our philosophy is also embedded in our logo, which emphasizes the name of Hillcrest to honor our founder, Dr. Nancy Hill, and the color green, the symbolic color of hope and growth. The window depicts both the residential nature of some Hillcrest programs and the window of opportunity opened for individuals and families through our many other services. The crossbar of the window illustrates our Christian mission of service to others, while the sun represents a brighter future possible for all members of the Hillcrest family. The moon and stars of the sky exemplify our commitment to assist people in reaching their goals and potential.
