Mission Statement
We who recognize God's providence and fidelity to His people are dedicated to living out His covenant among ourselves and those children we serve, with absolute respect and unconditional love. That commitment calls us to serve suffering children of the street, and to protect and safeguard all children. Just as Christ in His humanity is the visible sign of God's presence among His people, so our efforts together in the covenant community are a visible sign that effects the presence of God, working through the Holy Spirit among ourselves and our kids.
Description
The Second Chance Mentoring Program is an initiative developed as a proactive approach to reclaim at-risk youth through positive mentoring relationships between adults and youth ages 14-18. Our goals are to reduce high risk behavior, juvenile delinquency, poor academic performance and recidivism by providing additional support through one-on-one mentoring relationships. Our primary focus is on the overall development of the youth.
