The Leadership Academy is a mentoring and leadership development program for youth. Our volunteers meet for large group sessions in Manhattan twice a month with the youth and once a month with program staff for prayer, development and support. Our volunteers are Christian professionals and college students who support youth (ages 12-16) in their personal, social, and academic development. Volunteers come alongside to form relationships of accountability and help shepherd the youth in their transition to adulthood grow spiritually. For more information, please contact Anne at .
The Young Scholars program serves 12 highly at-risk children, offering them a year-round package of services including: a life and academic mentor to meet with them one-on-one, scholarship to attend a quality private Christian school, tutors, peer group meetings, summer camp and a winter family retreat. Volunteers are involved as mentors for a minimum of one year. For more information, contact Ruth at .
