We operate based on a mission to be “Jesus” to Williamson County’s inner-city youth.

Our youth development model adds discipline and understanding to classes designed to help students succeed.
We work with elementary, middle, and high school students in Franklin and South Williamson County. Programming takes place in the afterschool hours, in the evenings, and on weekends. In all we do, our programming is governed by our faith in Jesus Christ, which is key to service within our organization.
