Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We seek to prevent criminal behavior by providing positive male role models for at-risk, mostly minority youth. We also seek to lower recidivism rates by providing faith-based recreation services for inmates.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our Living H2O Initiative provides a safe place for at-risk youth to recreate while being exposed to positive male role models and faith-based messages.
Our prison ministry teams provide free recreational services to prisoners accompanied by a faith-based message.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We conduct twice-weekly basketball programs (one indoor and one outdoor) for at-risk, mostly minority youth in Indian River County.
We conduct one prison ministry trip per month within the State of Florida and periodic prison ministry trips to other states and countries.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Through our first 10 years, we have conducted hundreds of prison ministry trips throughout the Eastern United States and Africa; thousands of basketball outreach programs for at-risk youth; and dozens of men's conferences.
