Vincent House

WorldLegacy’s NC177 Leadership Team’s vision is a united world filled with full self-expression.  Our vision is a world where everyone takes care of each other, stands for each other and spreads love and respect, joy, happiness, freedom and passion.  We are committed to a world filled with abundance, where families are safe, and people are healthy, free, courageous and bold.

This WorldLegacy project aligns with our vision because it provides a safe place for individuals recovering from mental illness.  Our mission is to assist and promote people with mental illness in their life effort and improve their social and vocational skills.  We are committed to them being fully connected to their families and fully self-expressive.

WorldLegacy NC 177 Leaders created an extreme makeover for  the Vincent House in Florida.  The Vincent House aids community members recovering from mental illness by helping them gain independence through education in social skills and gaining employment.

The team removed a wall between two rooms to create a large wellness center where members of the Vincent House could exercise, practice yoga and connect to their physical health as well as their mental health. The team repainted the walls, replaced the flooring and installed treadmills, four stationary bikes, and a set of weights and associated storage rack.  The team also painted four other rooms to create a fresh and pleasant atmosphere for members and staff.  In addition,  the team replaced the ceiling tiles in two rooms, replaced four ceiling fans and also installed mirrors at the wellness center.  The team had more than 60 volunteers participating over the weekend.  Budget:  $40,000

WorldLegacy’s NC177 Leadership Team, based in Chapel Hill, NC, will complete an extreme makeover of the Vincent House in Pinellas Park, Florida during the weekend of August 2 – 4, 2019. Nine individuals, from all over the United States and abroad, will completely renovate and create a Wellness Room at the Vincent House. They will renovate an existing area by removing a wall, repainting the room, installing new flooring, and adding commercial grade treadmills, exercise bicycles and free weights. In addition, the team will repaint four other rooms. The work will be done in excellence and will provide a safe and comfortable place for individuals with mental illness. The intention is to leave a lasting gift for these people and have them get that they matter.

This WorldLegacy Leadership team is committed to assisting people with mental illness in their lives, to improving social and vocational skills, encouraging full self-expression and connecting people to their families. They intend to support family members in having their loved ones feel free, independent and healthy.

This extreme makeover project is the culmination of WorldLegacy’s three-month leadership development program. What makes this project unique is that the WorldLegacy Leadership team must completely design the project from start to finish, cannot use any of their own money, cannot raise money, and must involve the community to be partners and do 75% of the work. The project needs to be completed in three days or less.

WorldLegacy is committed to maintaining standards of excellence for all legacy leadership projects. WorldLegacy has been operating for more than twenty years and trains at least seven leadership programs each year. WorldLegacy has donated more than $3,455,000 in cash, contributions and labor to the world community through these projects. The quality of any work that is done has to be industry grade.

The WorldLegacy NC177 Leadership team asks for your partnership to make this project possible. Please come and participate in all aspects of the work. This extreme adventure will begin on Friday, August 2, at 6 pm and 8:00 am both Saturday and Sunday. All work will be completed by Sunday afternoon and will culminate with a ribbon cutting ceremony beginning 6:30 pm on Sunday, August 4. The ceremony will celebrate and honor all donors, volunteers and leaders who gave of their time, talents and resources to make the project a success. WorldLegacy invites the entire Florida community and all those who work and volunteer for this incredible organization to come join them.
