Hope For Youth

Mentoring & Small Group Discipleship. Our small group disciple program is centered around creating deep and lasting one-on-one relationships between our most committed youth and volunteers. This program includes biblical studies on living a Christ-centered life and building Christ-centered relationships - all in an effort to prepare our youth for a satisfying and successful walk with Christ. Mentors also get to know their youth well enough to help them address academic and social issues. This program uses small-group and one-on-one time to build the relationships necessary for lasting change. Mentors are volunteers and our Staff Members also work closely with many of our youth.

Camps and Retreats: For many youth, our camp and retreat outings are among the highlight of their year. These activities are directly targeted and designed for students who find themselves in an urban setting and in at-risk situations. A bus load of our youth attend a Christian sports camp in Missouri for a week in the summer. We sometimes also send some of our other youth to attend camp at a Christian ranch in Texas. In the spring we have a large weekend retreat at a Christian camp in Texas. Every year students come back and share how these experiences literally changed their lives.

G3 (Guys, Girls and God) is our Leadership and College and Career Prep program - We help our high schoolers with guidance on college, entrepreneurship, careers in the military and vocational jobs. Also teaches life skills.
