Running the race to win

Vision

Our program seeks to champion at-risk youth, provide purpose, instill moral values, and to change our community for generations to come. 

The Champions Program is excited to be able to partner with the YMCA and other community partners to reach out to our city’s at-risk youth ages 13-18. 

The youth in our program are taught honesty, respect, and loyalty in order to live a life of excellence. We accomplish this through one on one mentoring and peer support, as well as engaging with others to have fun in an honorable way.

 The youth who participate in our program and demonstrate a willingness to learn, grow, and better their lives will be given the support needed to foster lasting relationships, develop respectful communication, and even receive job placement and educational support. 

We look forward to the future of Champions, and the growth of these deserving youth.
