Our Mission
Our nonprofit is dedicated to supporting parents navigating the pain of estrangement and alienation from their adult children. This can happen as a result of a number of social media settings, but most commonly influenced by college indoctrination. We provide compassionate resources and community to help parents heal, rebuild connections where possible, and advocate for open dialogue and critical thinking as we face this crisis as parents and as a Nation.
Our Vision
This mission will grow over 3 phases:
Phase One: The first 12 to 18 months will be focused establishing our online presence through personalized video testimonials, blogs & mass media clips featured on our website. This will show parents suffering this type of loss that they are not alone and that there are ways to work through things, together.
Phase Two: Over the next three years, our nonprofit will be committed to becoming a leading beacon of hope and healing for parents grappling with the estrangement and alienation of their adult children due to ideological indoctrination encountered in social media & college environments. We will expand our reach by offering comprehensive, evidence-based resources, including peer support groups and educational workshops, to empower parents with tools to navigate emotional distress that may lead to reconciliation when feasible.
Phase Three: By 2030, we aim to establish a national network of community hubs that provide constructive spaces for connection and dialogue, while partnering with mental health professionals to tailor services to the unique needs of affected families. Additionally, we will advocate for reforms in higher education to promote critical thinking, intellectual diversity, and open discourse, working to prevent future familial divides. Through compassionate outreach, innovative programs, and strategic collaborations, we will restore hope, strengthen family bonds, and build resilient communities for parents facing this growing challenge.
It is also our hope that we can intercept this terrible outcome of parental estrangement by being a presence in K thru 12... BEFORE our kids go off to college! This will be accomplished, in part, by the "reach" we achieve as an organization!
Our Promise
Free speech is the cornerstone of open expression, empowering individuals to share ideas, challenge societal norms, and drive progress, which means we must sometimes tolerate things that make us feel uncomfortable. Freedom of speech safeguards diverse perspectives from censorship, encouraging robust debate and critical thinking essential for truth to prevail. Our nonprofit is unwavering in its commitment to never silence any voice, regardless of its stance or impact, and encourages everyone, including our Board of Directors and employees, to speak their truth with conviction.
When it comes to provocative topics like feminism, the LGBTQ+ community, D.E.I. initiatives, illegal immigration, deportation, human rights issues, international social issues, men in women's sports, and censorship, to name a few, every employee and board member will be encouraged to exercise their Constitutional right of FREE SPEECH. Furthermore, no social media comments or replies will be removed by anyone associated with this nonprofit unless they contain a threat of violence (real or implied) or obscene images.
We are willing to debate with unapologetic conviction, on their turf or ours, and that means hearing all sides of any issue, respectfully.
The only standing order is to not speak for this nonprofit unless otherwise approved to do so. Any comments made publicly, in person or on social media by anyone affiliated with this nonprofit may not reflect the views of KeepYourLoveAlive.org's founders, board members, employees, volunteers, donors or partnerships.
This nonprofit also does not publicly endorse any candidate for public office. This nonprofit may however engage in limited lobbying activities, related to certain ballot measures, subject to the 501(h)-expenditure test, upon unanimous approval of its Board of Directors.
Our Founding Principles
1) We fundamentally reject "Indoctrination" being disguised as "Education". Being perpetual learners in something the founders Scott & Kristin Valenti embraced at Colorado Christian University while getting their degrees and still practice to this day. The pursuit of wisdom & knowledge, formal & informal, is foundational to personal & professional growth, which opens all kinds of doors for an individual and expands the impact they have in their community and the world as a whole. Increasingly, more and more institutions of higher "education" use their position of power & influence to indoctrinate impressionable young minds with radical political agendas in mind. This often starts as early as grade school.
2) "Cancel Culture" is weak! Everyone has an opinion or belief system and sometimes those positions are in opposition to ours. It is cowardly to "cancel" someone just because they disagree with you. We are confident enough in our position and we respect your confidence in yours. As a matter a fact, we will give you a platform to express any ideas that may differ from ours... Bring your talking points and we'll bring ours... and maybe we'll learn a thing or two from one another in the process... Let's debate!
3) Our hearts ache for what we see playing out in the media. Although many "Conservatives" and even professing Christians will be quick to judge, mock or ridicule demonstrations of Liberals screaming in the streets with rainbow flags and other provocative images, as an example, we know that person is someone's precious daughter... someone's beautiful son... and there are parents whose hearts may be breaking as these images unfold, often in real time. This is not to say that we condone or condemn what we see... just that we have the utmost sympathy for the broken families often represented in social media and on television. That being said, our sympathy will not prevent us from speaking TRUTH... and often times, the truth hurts.
Acknowledgment
Child abuse cannot be dismissed!
Child abuse, whether physical or emotional, leaves lasting scars on children from early childhood through adolescence and into adulthood. While physical abuse often makes the headlines, emotional abuse, such as harsh discipline, exposure to inappropriate content, or unrealistic academic expectations, also deeply impacts a child’s future. The Founders, Board, Staff, and Volunteers of KeepYourLoveAlive.org recognize the reality of child abuse and the need for emotional, physical, and legal support for victims. Although we do not directly serve these children, we fully acknowledge and endorse the vital work of existing organizations and law enforcement agencies dedicated to their support.
If you suspect child or spousal abuse, please call 911 or contact the Child Advocacy Center at childadvocacycenter.org/community-education/see-something-say-something/.
