Ilona Boyce, MSW, is the Founder and Executive Director
of EvenStart for Children Foundation. After
15 years of working in social services, Ilona came to believe in the importance
of children's early learning and life experiences as predictors of future success.
In 1996, she founded the Heartland Agency Non-Profit Agency dedicated to assisting
children in reaching their potential, and most importantly, helping them to learn
that each of them is valued. She soon learned that children 'at risk' (i.e., those
who have experienced childhood trauma) require more. If they were to be provided
the opportunities for an 'even start' in life, these children required additional
support from their communities. A wide variety of educational, therapeutic, transportation,
and nutritional supports were needed. As a result of this awareness, she developed
the EvenStart for Children Foundation to assist with this very important work.
Today the EvenStart for Children Foundation and the Heartland Agency work side-by-side
to collaboratively provide needed programs for 'at-risk', traumatized, and economically-disadvantaged
children E.xecutive
