Help Restful Digs Create Comforting Spaces for Brahma House

'Restful Digs' Project Aims to Support Displaced Youth at Brahma House

Members of the Leadership Somerset Class of 2024 are implementing a community project, titled “Restful Digs,” to uplift and enhance the living spaces for displaced youth at Brahma House, a short-term group home managed by Visions & Pathways in Bridgewater, NJ.

Restful Digs: Providing Dignity Through Comfortable Living Spaces

The 'Restful Digs' project focuses on revitalizing the bedrooms and restocking the library at Brahma House, which serves 13- to 17-year-olds who have been victims of abuse, neglect, or homelessness. The aim is to create a more dignified and comforting environment for these vulnerable youth, helping them feel safe and supported during a critical period in their lives.

Brahma House and Visions & Pathways: A Beacon for Youth in Crisis

Visions & Pathways is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing housing, stability, and supportive services to youth who have experienced abuse, neglect, or homelessness. Brahma House offers a range of services, including food, clothing, shelter, counseling, health care, and education. It serves as a temporary haven for young people who are struggling with difficult family circumstances, many of whom have endured physical or sexual abuse. The ultimate goal is to reunite these youth with their families whenever possible or to help them transition to stable homes.

Leadership Somerset’s Commitment to Community Impact

Each year, Leadership Somerset asks its participants to identify a class project as a way of fostering civic leadership and giving back to the community. The 'Restful Digs' project team’s decision to partner with Visions & Pathways highlights their dedication to addressing the needs of underrepresented and vulnerable populations within Somerset County. Through 'Restful Digs,' the project team aims to make a lasting difference by providing Brahma House residents with comfortable living spaces that foster healing, growth, and a sense of self-worth.

How You Can Help

As the community project team works to complete the 'Restful Digs' project, they invite members of the community to join them in this important mission. Donations of new or gently used books for the library or financial contributions toward the bedroom upgrades are greatly appreciated. Every contribution helps provide a more nurturing environment for youth who need it most.
