The Elder Group requests your help: To all my colleagues, clients, and friends. It’s my pleasure to introduce you to a foundation that has touched my heart. As many of you know, I’ve been working with challenged children in several states across America. It’s been my mission to do my part and help these splendid youths achieve their potential.
I was lucky to be able to mentor several of the young people in the TotalChild® program and am very impressed with their splendid work.
My request is that you take a look at all they provide and let’s all help them with whatever you can give so we all can help these splendid young people and their families know that there are people in the world who say “YES I CARE”! Let’s all do our part and make a difference for them.
In gratitude,

Supporting Tomorrow’s Workforce Today: Four Oaks TotalChild® Workforce
Four Oaks is committed to ensuring the long-term success of our children and families. Our TotalChild® approach enables us to create a continuum of care that allows us to work toward achieving positive short and long-term outcomes for children and their families.
With this philosophy in mind, we created TotalChild® Workforce, our workforce development program that supports youth through high school graduation, into and through post-secondary training or education, and into a stable job and self-sufficiency by age 26.
TotalChild® Workforce addresses career readiness and placement skills including higher education and training, internships, job shadowing, and more. By partnering with community organizations and companies, we are able to provide real-life job shadowing and internship experiences, as well as community mentors that provide guidance for TotalChild® youth. By offering a glimpse into what industries are available and how successful professionals have reached their professional goals, we can inspire, encourage, and support our participants to reach their professional goals.
To see the impact of TotalChild® Workforce, check out this recent news article on the mentorship component of the program and Workforce participant Daysha Gibson: https://www.thegazette.com/subject/news/community/four-oaks-cedar-rapids-youth-mentorship-total-child-workforce-program-20210211.

Achieving Success: The Jane Boyd Achievement Academy
One of the many ways Four Oaks assures success for kids and families is by partnering with our two affiliate organizations, Jane Boyd and the Affordable Housing Network. These partners enable us to expand the services we provide in both depth and geography. Together, Four Oaks, Jane Boyd, and the Affordable Housing Network make up the Four Oaks Family of Agencies.
Guided by Four Oaks’ TotalChild® approach, Jane Boyd’s services are family-centered and focused on enhancing the academic, emotional, and social well-being of children and families with programs focused on developing successful and productive adults.
Four Oaks’ TotalChild® approach addresses the key risk and protective factors across four domains including childhood basic needs, education & work, family, and community. The Jane Boyd Achievement Academy, which provides after-school programming during the school year and summer programming for children living in the Cedar Rapids Community School District, works to meet children’s basic childhood and educational needs.
Children enrolled in the Achievement Academy develop positive self-concepts, and social and problem-solving skills through a variety of programming including: Reading and Literacy Programs, Science Exploration, Social and Recreational Activities, Enrichment Activities through community partners, Field Trips “The Achievement Academy saved my boys. They related to the staff there and felt comfortable with them,” A mother of Achievement Academy youth said. “I don’t know what I would do without Jane Boyd. It is a permeant fixture in my life.”

Andrew J. Elder, President & CEO From a home in rural Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1973, Four Oaks has grown to become one of Iowa’s strongest organizations devoted to helping children and families succeed through a powerful network of programs and services that are rooted in the family. 48 years later, our mission is still the same, “To assure children become successful adults.” In 2020, Four Oaks helped ensure the success of over 27,000 children and families across the state of Iowa. Our holistic care model, TotalChild®, has transformed the organization into a high-performance, outcome-based culture. Four Oaks’ TotalChild® approach addresses the key risk and protective factors across four domains including childhood basic needs, education & work, family, and community. Our objective is to achieve positive short and long-term outcomes for children and their families facing multiple challenges including homelessness, lack of parenting skills, poverty, under or unemployment, and unstable housing. We follow the child and their families for many years to help support long-term success. When a family comes to us through TotalChild®, they are connected with a Success Manager that helps connect them to resources and services to support them through their barriers to success. Our powerful network of services and programs enables us to create a continuum of care that holistically addresses the needs of children and families, whatever they may be.

Andrew Elder: President & CEO, The Elder Group, LLC
For 20 years Mr. Elder has helped countless companies and their CEO’s succeed. “Developing the Elder Group was clearly a “niche” business idea”.
Throughout his travels across the country, Andy heard the same story over and over again. “All my CEO colleagues and friends were telling me they were too busy running their companies, it kept them from being in the new business development arenas which they all missed”. It’s how most of them started their businesses”. “So, I thought, why not put a company together that introduces CEO’s to other CEO’s where there is a natural fit”?
Henceforth, the Elder Group was born. Today The Elder Group has company access to many hundreds of CEO’s from all around the globe. Totaling in the hundreds of billions of dollars in company earnings. Andy subscribes to two simple rules”. “Keep it simple” and The Elder Group never works with people they don’t care for”! What’s the point?
