A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD CHAIR

This past year has been an exciting one for the Wilder Foundation. The new
Wilder Center, located at Lexington Parkway and University Avenue, is in the
final stages of construction. Our new facility, which combines several program
sites, is set for occupancy in early 2008, and will allow the Foundation to expand
its capacity to provide 22,000 client visits and community convening space to over
10,000 people annually.

A unique feature of Wilder Center, a concrete “word band” surrounding the building,
is comprised of 26 word pairs drawn from the original Wilder family wills, articles
of incorporation and mission statement. By carving these words in stone, words that
capture the spirit of the Wilder family’s wishes, we will provide a daily reminder to
all who walk through our doors of the Foundation’s purpose to enrich the Saint Paul
community and improve the lives of its most vulnerable citizens.
Let us share some samples of progress over the past year through the lens of those
words pairs:
transform lives Through all of Wilder’s programs and services, we seek to enrich
the lives of the clients we serve, assist them in their efforts to become productive and
contributing citizens, and improve their overall quality of life. Over the past year,

“My favorite thing here is playing with the other kids outside. Sliding
down the slide on my knees is my favorite. Sometimes you turn around
and go backwards, I love that the most!”
– Justice, student
“What I love most working
here is all the interaction
with the kids. They grow
and learn so much here.
Right now Justice is
in the Butterfly class,
next year he is going
to be a Dolphin.”

“I was in the shelter with my family when I came into contact with Wilder
in January of 2004. Everything went smoothly after that. I got started in a
nice, safe place because that’s what we needed at that time to get started.
“Her one and a half
year-old son had severe
allergies and asthma.
It just took one wrong
thing to eat and she
would have to drop what
she was doing and head to
the doctor. So she worked
to find a day care provider
who knew about her son’s
needs, so she could get on
track with employment.
I don’t know how I do it somedays, but now I have my own place. I work
a full time job. I take care of my teenager, pre-teen and five year-old. And
I attend Century College part time studying human services. I’m busy, but
it’s better than looking for a home and something to support your family.
I’m doing things that I’ve always wanted to do without having all that on
my shoulders. It’s a lot of work, but I just feel so peaceful now.”
– Tawanda, client
She looked for months
for a job. She’d look so
discouraged, but I’d say,
‘Tawanda, you are doing
everything you need to
do. You are going to get
a job. You just watch.’
And she did.”
– Gloria, staff
ROOF PROJECT
The ROOF Project, an innovative transitional housing
program, is a collaboration of organizations committed to
assisting homeless families in Ramsey County rebuild their
own futures. Since 1995, the ROOF Project has assisted over
500 homeless families move from shelters and off the street
into housing that is affordable. ROOF is the largest provider
of transitional housing in the East Metro and serves nearly
30% of all homeless families in Ramsey County.
Families in the program are helped to secure housing and
receive intensive in-home services. Families find and maintain
employment and educational opportunities and receive
education and support around mental health, substance
abuse and domestic violence issues. Parents are encouraged
to connect to their childrens’ schools and provide
educational resources for their children in order to achieve
school success.

“It’s because of Wilder that we’ve been able to purchase a home.
It means stability. I have hope for the future now.”
– Chue, client
“Wilder has made a difference for both generations in our family.
But mostly for my mom. She smiles now.”
“For me the most
rewarding thing is
coming to work every
day and knowing that
each day you might
make a difference in
someone’s life. It makes
me feel really good to
know I’m helping people
lead better lives, especially
kids who are struggling
with various mental
health issues.
– Gaojous, client
This particular family,
I’m just so proud of how
much progress they’ve
made. They are definitely
a success.”
– Chao
SEA program staff
WILDER’S SOUTHEAST ASIAN SERVICES
The Wilder Foundation’s Southeast Asian (SEA) Services
was established in 1984 to help a growing population
of refugees work through mental health issues. It serves
Hmong, Cambodian, Laotian and Vietnamese immigrants
and refugees living in the East metro area.
The program has received national recognition for how
it combines Western mental health practices with the
traditional healing methods of the Southeast Asian cultures it
serves. Its core services, provided to both adults and youth,
include mental health assessment; individual, group and
family counseling; case management; and school-based
youth services.

“My son, Jacari, 10, and I have been staying in an emergency shelter.
We were living in transitional housing, but I was unable to find
permanent housing when my two years in the program ended.
“I have always felt that
my involvement in the
homeless study brings me
as close to the center of
Wilder’s mission as you
can get. These are the
poorest among us and
they truly have the least
access to resources.
Our study provides
both a voice for those
experiencing homelessness
and a promise that
someone is paying
attention and that
their voices will be
represented.
We’ll be moving soon. My priority is making a good life for Jacari.
I want to secure housing, get a job, and be the best dad I can be.”
– Bryan, study participant
Wilder’s homeless study
continues to be relevant
and important in both the
public and private sectors.
The public sector relies
on us for reliable and
accurate information for
both planning and policy
purposes. The private
sector finds the study
essential for documenting
needs and for preparing
plans and funding
proposals to meet those
needs.”
– Greg, staff
H O M E L E S S S T U D Y, W I L D E R R E S E A R C H
Since 1991, Wilder has conducted a statewide homeless
survey every three years to better understand the causes,
circumstances and effects of homelessness, and to promote
efforts toward permanent, affordable housing for all
Minnesotans.
The October 2006 survey is the most comprehensive to date.
More than 950 volunteers around the state conducted faceto-face interviews with some 2,500 people in emergency
shelters, transitional housing programs, and battered
women’s shelters. In addition, thanks to extraordinary
outreach efforts by Wilder partners, nearly 1,200 homeless
people not in shelters were interviewed.
Wilder Research is one of the nation’s largest nonprofit
research and evaluation groups dedicated to practical
research in the field of human services.

“I never knew I had the potential to be a leader until this program
challenged me to do it. My parents came from Laos and didn’t really
understand what leadership could be for a Hmong girl in this country,
so they never really encouraged me.
“I see this program
providing opportunities
for young people to live
up to their full potential.
Youth make contributions
when they feel valued by
adults. In our program
young people explore
their own and other
cultures, build confidence,
and learn they can make
a difference in the
community that really
matters.”
Being a part of this program was the first time I started to hear something
positive said about me. Towards the end of the program, we had an exercise
where we all closed our eyes and we took turns whispering to
each other. I didn’t know who was saying what, but a whole group of
my peers would say what they’ve seen in me or what I have the potential
to do or to be. As a Hmong girl, you don’t hear a lot of positive things.
It made me cry. I realized people see potential in me. And now I see
potential in myself.”
– GaoLang, youth mentor
– Sally, staff
YOUTH LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE
The Youth Leadership Initiative is part of Wilder’s Center
for Communities, which aims to develop effective leaders
in our community.
The Youth Leadership Initiative (YLI) is a multicultural
program designed to help youth develop strong, effective
leadership skills to work in diverse community settings.
The program assists youth in learning about themselves,
working with others, and engaging in meaningful action.
Each year 60 young people between the ages of 14-18
make the year-long commitment to the program.

“Home is the ideal place
to receive care. It’s more
comfortable to stay in your
home with family, friends,
neighbors and family pets.
In a hospital or nursing
home many decisions are
made for you, but at home
people are much more in
control. They are able to
be more independent, and
I like seeing how well they
respond to that.
“I’ve been at Adult Day Health since before it moved to 650 Marshall,
and I had my own spot at the King Center. When we moved over, I
picked a spot, and I wanted to keep it. Trouble is I’m slowing down,
so I’m usually the last person back from lunch. One of the staff members
said to me, ‘I know how to keep your seat for you – I won’t set it up until
you get here.’ That’s just one example of how they look out for you there.
People there get to know each other really well and get very close.”
I have a nurse, homemaker and Meals on Wheels come to my home
where I’ve been for 23 years. It makes all the difference.”
– Ida, client, 95 years old
A lot of people think
home care is an easy job,
but I think it is one of the
most challenging types
of work. Staff members
have to be comfortable
with their skills when
working independently
with clients in their homes.
It takes a special kind of
person to do home care,
someone who is willing
to take on the challenge of
something new every day.”

Heritage Partners are individuals who have established named endowments or included the Wilder Foundation in their estate plans
through outright gifts, life-income arrangements, wills, trusts, insurance policies and other means. Estate gifts may be designated for
the Wilder Endowment Fund or for a specific Foundation program, project or facility.
An annual recognition event celebrates and thanks these special friends. Please call the Office of Planned Giving
(mhy@wilder.org) to discuss your interest in becoming a Wilder Heritage Partner.
