Leaders in Training
The Hope Center exists to develop youth from our community into world-class Christian leaders. The Leaders In Training (LIT) program is the primary place where this occurs.
Because many of the kids are severely behind in key developmental areas such as education, character, and interpersonal skills, LIT is comprehensive in nature. Leaders In Training is committed to giving Hope Center youth all that they need to reach their full potential. To ensure that this occurs, The Hope Center is committed to providing:
• One LIT coordinator for every 15 kids admitted into LIT
• A team of trained, committed volunteers to invest in the youth
• A holistic program that develops the kids in seven areas
• A combination of classroom and experiential learning
Who is Eligible:
Kids who are 4th grade and older are eligible for LIT. In order to be accepted into this program, applicants must have displayed sustained faithfulness in The Hope Center’s Outreach Bible Study. Youth show faithfulness through: strong attendance for at least one year, a reasonable effort to apply bible study material, and decent behavior. Additionally, the kids must complete an application form, receive permission from their parent, and pay a small fee. It is our goal to reward and invest in kids who demonstrate the desire to grow.
