These programs assist at-risk children through the support and guidance of a mentor to improve academic performance; improve interpersonal relationships between children and their peers, teachers, other adults, and family members; reduce dropout rates; and reduce juvenile delinquency and gang involvement.

Super bowl/World Series/NBA Championships Fellowship (Men/Young Men)
The Super Bowl, World Series, Stanley Cup and NBA Championship has become a cultural icon in America and some of the biggest TV events of the year, drawing millions of viewers in the US alone. And regardless of our interest in the game it's become the one time we gather and a good excuse to create a special and shared community experience. For churches it's a great way to reach the community, especially children and youth, college students, and young families.
