The Torch of Life wants to help all at-risk youth, but we can't do it alone. We need your help.
The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
-Matthew 25:40
Our Mission... |
|
Torch of Life (TOL) is a not-for-profit organization that provides at-risk youth with products and services they would not normally be able to obtain. It is our vision to assist families and organizations in providing well-rounded physical, mental, and spiritual lives for at-risk youth. We work with other organizations within the community to identify needs in the lives of at-risk youth. TOL programs are designed with the therapeutic needs of the youth in mind. Some of our programs include tutoring, sports involvement, and classes to encourage and expand personal talents. The Youth Connection Program also focuses on participation within the community to improve social and decision-making skills, to learn leadership, and to be involved with character-building experiences. |
At-risk youth benefit greatly through their involvement in the programs. They are given opportunities that will promote positive peer relationships. We encourage activities that help them to identify and build on their individual strengths. They learn to practice healthy behaviors and take on leadership roles; all of this builds self confidence and an appreciation of self and community.

What are we doing to help?
Torch of Life believes in investing in the early years to put children on track for success. Children that are encouraged to explore, recognize, and develop their talents, are more likely to mature in a more positive manner. Encouragement and guidance in adolescence moves youth towards productive adulthood.
Torch of life has developed several programs that will assist at-risk youth and their families in ways that will benefit them spiritually, mentally and physically.
In 2009 we opened the Youth Connection Program. This program assists at-risk youth in several ways. Torch of Life accepts requests for assistance for at-risk youth from other organizations and agencies in the community. We then screen these requests and assist in finding tutoring, sports involvement, and classes to encourage and expand personal talents. The program expects participation by the youth within the community in an effort to improve their social and decision-making skills, to learn leadership, and to be involved with character-building experiences.
Later this year we will be introducing the Age Out program. The Age-Out Program is developed to assist older children with transitional assistance. This assistance can be provided in the form of practical life training classes, occupational training, financial support, counseling, mentoring, or both.
Our goal is to assist at-risk youth to acquire the skills and the tools necessary to function and live independently, including the ability to maintain employment while holding them accountable
