About The Butterfly Effect

The Butterfly Effect Community Programs was founded by Sherry Bassett in Mesa, Arizona, to help young adults ages 16–26 build the skills, confidence, and community connections needed to move toward independence and stability.

Through practical life-skills education, trusted resources, and supportive partnerships, we serve young adults—including those aging out of foster care, experiencing homelessness, or facing barriers to independent living. We believe one conversation and one meaningful connection can create a lasting Butterfly Effect.

Every Connection Matters.
