High Impact Opportunities for Scranton Kids and Youth
Our mission is to empower at-risk youth and families of inner-city Scranton through life changing relationships, lasting hope, and opportunities for a brighter future.This mission is currently being pursued through year-round mentorship programs and events that serve students who live in Valley View Terrace, Hilltop Manor Apartments, and the surrounding Scranton area.
Our fundraiser goal is to invest in our two of our greatest needs:
The first are the weeks of camp for our students.
The second is resourcing our summer neighborhood student and family ministries
Camp Weeks for Teens Our fundraiser goal is to provide full scholarships, funding needs, and the trip for Scranton youth students to experience a life-changing week at summer camp; Inspire Sports Camps, Piercing Word Theatre Camp, and Word of Life Island Camp! We average anywhere from 20-40 students who attend camp.
Neighborhood Summer Student and Family Ministries "You are not our friends, you are family!" This is a quote from one of our student's father's in the Hilltop neighborhood. Our weekly summer programs in Valley View and Hilltop builds a stronger community and transformation in the environment, relationships, and family's lives. This fundraiser will resource the meals, supplies, staffing, and logistics for running weekly programs directly in each neighborhood outside.
Listen to our teen student, Yani, and her family's story who has benefited from our mentorship, neighborhood programs, events/extracurriculars, and summer camps! Would you consider in investing in our student and families lives, like Yani's this summer? Let's partner together to bring hope to the next generation in Scranton, PA!
