Tandem is a faith-based, non-profit organization serving young people in the Chippewa Valley

Our Mission

At Tandem, we aim to end hopelessness through intentional relationships.

Vision

We believe that young people should never feel alone or outcasted by the community but should feel that there is always someone to confide in, visible or not.

We understand the challenges young people face in school and work, at home, and in their daily lives. We use those challenges to create a community that supports one another. Tandem will always be a safe space to share and heal. 

We believe that nobody should be defined by their past and should be given every opportunity to change the path they take.

Restorative Justice services were introduced to the Chippewa Valley Region thanks to grant funding. This philosophy focuses on mending the harm between an offender and victim.

Restorative Justice services become predominantly funded by Eau Claire County through a partnership with Goodwill of North Central Wisconsin.
