HAITI TEEN CHALLENGE

HTC is a Residential Program that addresses the brokenness in the lives of Haiti's youth, giving them significance and purpose, equipping them to lead lives of integrity and then sending them out to benefit their families, their communities and their nation.

Accomplished through:
1. Personal Transformation though God's work, the curriculum of Teen Challenge and training in line with "When helping Hurts" by Corbett and Fikkart.
2. Education in a trade or degree to create a life time of responsibility, benefits and dignity
2. Strength in character: Accountable, Trustworthy, Respectful, Honoring, Compassionate and Service oriented
3. Rebuilding the family structure
4. Economic Development; recognition of each person’s God given abilities and significance, and an understanding of God’s concept of work and service. This contributes to economic development for the person, a community and a nation.
5. Utilization of the church as catalyst for the nation’s transformation.

Strategic Plan and prayer drives HTC. The US Board /HTC Foundation quarterly review adherence and success of HTC mission and strategic plan, financial and program outcomes and effective governance. Goal, to ultimately transfer all strategy, operations, decision making to Haiti leadership team.

Since launched in 2011, approx. 30-45 former addicts, gang leaders, and prostitutes have graduated annually from the HTC program. Many have obtained or are obtaining a degree or trade certification. When they return to their communities they are building strong families as they marry with commitment, providing help to vulnerable children, leading sports camps, teaching computer skills and English, and mentoring them to prevent them from making bad choices. They clean the streets, feed the hungry, and engage in relief when needed. They bring the gospel through their transformed lives, Bible studies, and worship services. Rather then letting their communities define them, they are rebuilding their communities.

In the past year (2022-2023),

-98% of students graduated from the program
-81% of graduates were serving in their local church and community
-100% of students have mentors
- 87 graduates were pursuing ongoing education and have pledged to stay in Haiti
- HTC is highly collaborative and added several new partnerships during 2023, bringing together churches, ministries, and other organizations to collectively serve the community.
- Through its partnership with Rendez-Vous Christ Christ Church (founded by Pastor Volcy and HTC graduates in 2016), HTC provided Bible studies, sermon content, and training for over 4,000 church leaders.
