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.
