Why Give Access?

Poverty Robs People of the Gift of Choice 

Poverty is not just material scarcity — it is a diminished life and personhood. We are restoring God’s design and desire for mankind by going beyond the crisis of basic needs to build agency in our youth and restore choice. By helping individuals develop the skills they need, we will empower each person to discover their purpose and live their lives as Godly stewards of their time, talent, and treasure in their communities.

Surviving to Thriving

Agency

Student-driven curriculum and career development opportunities build self-efficacy, personal control, and a desire to actively shape individual experience.

Choice

Material poverty takes away the gift of choice. Our programs provide opportunities for personal discovery so students can choose their own path forward.

Godly Stewardship

With agency and choice, this generation of leaders are using their time, talent and treasures in service of God and their community, reversing the cycle for the next generation.

Bridging the Gap

Education

Education is the great equalizer. It prompts intellectual, emotional, and physical development. It leads to increased income, improved health and empowered individuals. It changes the future of communities.

Career Development

Students need skills that apply in the workforce they will join. We help students explore real-world learning opportunities and develop skills so they will not only seek work, but choose professions based on their passions.

Community Empowerment

For our youth to fully benefit from our programs, we need to support the communities in which they live. We bridge gaps by providing critical basic needs and growth opportunities for parents and families.
