The Grand Experience® is built around a simple idea: real change begins when stories, evidence, expertise, resources, and action come together.
Through Stories, lived experiences spark understanding. Evidence brings research and data to inform the path forward, while Expertise provides knowledge and insight to guide solutions.
From there, Resources offer tools and support that strengthen families, and Action turns knowledge into practical steps.
The goal is thriving grand families empowered grandfamilies, stronger communities, and brighter futures.
As Dr. Schola Matovu, host of The Grand Experience®, puts it:
“Our goal is not simply to tell stories, but to help grandfamilies find answers, navigate systems, and access the support they need to thrive.”
