ORGANIZATION SPOTLIGHT: HOPE EXTREME
Hope Extreme is a 501(c)3
faith-based, non-profit with a mission to bring radical change to the lives of
east Houma's urban youth. By reaching
out and serving at the grassroots level children, youth, and young adults
facing the greatest barriers, Hope Extreme is determined to make a
difference. Our goals are being met
through Spiritual, Educational, and Community development.
Vision: From Hope Extreme's humble beginning in
November of 2003, we have made great strides in meeting the spiritual,
relational, and educational needs of children long neglected by a society who
views them as destined for lives of poverty.
Hope Extreme offers several
different programs to at-risk youth. Every Sunday at 3:00pm Hope Extreme holds
an interactive children's service for those ages 4 through 12 that are
interested in having fun and learning the good news that bring radical change
in a God centered atmosphere.
Every Thursday Night at 7:00
youth services are held at the Hope Extreme center that allows students ages
thirteen and older to center that allows students ages thirteen and older to
hear the "good news" in a relevant and life changing way.
Every summer Hope Extreme
holds a seven week educational program that helps students prepare for their
next school year as well as an after school program every Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday. Last year, Hope’s children
experienced huge gains, earning the highest number of A’s that they have ever
received as well as their lowest number of F’s.
