First Glance Student Center

The connect is a program of first glance which instructs young mothers in basic life and parenting skills such as finances, cooking, and physical and emotional care of their children. Though beginning specifically for teen mothers, the program also ministers to young adult mothers and their children. Tiny glancers, a subsection of the program, is offered to the children of the moms. Through the program, the children learn about the alphabet, basic math, social skills, and art. Both the connect and tiny glancers programs average 10 students each week.

Mentoring is a primary focus of each of first glance's programs. The student leader program (averaging 10 students) is a co-ed program that specifically deals with students who are seeking to be leaders and role models among their peers or who have been identified as those with that potential. Ladies' night out (averaging 25 students weekly) provides an opportunity for middle and high school girls to deal with the very real relationship struggles that accompany their age. Man up (averaging 20 students weekly) focuses on encouraging middle and high school boys to become men of character. Young adults (averaging 15 students) is for those students who exceed the age limit of other programs. Almost leaders is a program designed to transition former students into the role of volunteer mentor, allowing them the opportunity to give back to the community. This program focuses on leadership training and pairs seasoned leaders with each participant. Hip hop night (averaging 5 students) pairs adult mentors with youth who share an interest in creating music beats and writing lyrics to songs. Launch kenmore (averaging 30 students each day) is an after-school program that meets in a local elementary school and offers both intentional bible teaching and educational assistance.
