Our mission

We envision empowered young people who take control and responsibility for their own development. We seek to facilitate racial and economic reconciliation. We exist to equip youth and their families to succeed in every area of life: spiritual, emotional, physical, and academic. We work to nurture loving and supportive long-term mentoring relationships that result in a stronger community.

How you help

We have many skilled and unskilled jobs from working with children, to office work, to construction. Just about anything you can think of. Children growing up in under-resourced areas often have not had the benefit of relationships with committed adults.
