Our mission is to promote positive self-esteem, education, confidence and character among youth and families.
Our vision is to make a lasting impact. To help build self-esteem, transform lives, and strengthen families.
At Truly Valued, we believe every young person deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered. Through our programs—I AM Academy, Nurturing Families, and E3—we’re walking alongside youth and families in Manatee, Sarasota, and DeSoto Counties, helping them build confidence, resilience, and a brighter future.
The I AM Academy is dedicated to equipping students ages 10-18 with the essential skills to thrive as confident and successful adults.
The Nurturing Families Program® is a family-centered initiative focused on preventing and reducing child abuse and neglect
E3 is a dynamic one-day event held throughout the year, designed to expand your knowledge, provide valuable insights, and connect you with like-minded individuals.
Truly Valued was founded by Shavonne Johnson in 2016, leveraging her decade-long experience in the child welfare field. We are a compassionate organization dedicated to supporting at-risk youth and families in Manatee and Sarasota Counties, FL.
