Our Vision
The Vision of LaunchPad is to equip, empower and enrich the quality of life for youth and individuals to build safe, productive and vital communities. We offer a wide range of programs for youth that center on mentoring/modeling, character education, life-skills, drug-free living, academics and leadership. We serve the community through various outreach initiatives to meet the basic needs and open the hearts of the families in the communities we serve.
Our Mission
Our Mission is reaching disadvantage youth and youth that are at academic crossroads due to at-risk behavior, which could determine whether they engage or disengage from school. LaunchPad has established after-school programs in targeted middle schools geared towards empowering young people, providing intervention strategies and equipping them to succeed. We accomplish this through strategic partnerships with school administrators, educators, community partners and local law enforcement to ensure LaunchPad can “serve” the school and community where the need is the greatest.
Our foundation is established from a scripture verse found in Matthew 25:35-36 “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was a stranger and you invited me in; I needed clothes and you clothed me; I was sick and you looked after me … I tell you the truth, whatever you did for the least of these brothers of mine, you did to Me”.
