Programs - Striving To Empower Many

Our Programs

JumpStart Program

JumpStart, an initiative that offers a range of learning experiences for teens that includes non-formal education, mentoring, trips, and more to empower teens with the skills and knowledge necessary as they progress through adolescence to young adults.

We address a variety of topics to equip our young people with skills to make informed decisions, develop a vision for their life, solve problems, think critically and creatively, communicate effectively, build healthy relationships, empathize with others, and cope with managing their lives in a healthy and productive manner.

Additionally, we create learning opportunities for parents, leaders, and other adults who work with teens.

Leadership Development

Transform your teen into tomorrow’s leader. Through hands-on workshops and community projects, we cultivate essential leadership qualities that shine both at home and in the community. Your teen will develop critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and the confidence to guide and inspire others.

Career Development

Open doors to endless possibilities. We help teens explore diverse career paths, develop professional skills, and gain real-world insights through mentorship, workshops, and hands-on experiences. Your teen will discover their passions and build the foundation for a successful future.

Health & Wellness

Empower lifelong healthy habits. Our comprehensive approach to wellness combines physical health education, mental well-being strategies, and stress management techniques. Your teen will learn to make informed decisions about their health while developing sustainable self-care practices.
