C.H.I.L.D. Champions is a faith-based, non-profit youth mentor program. Our goal is to keep kids off the streets and in school. We make a difference in the lives of young people who are often labeled as statistics. These are the kids that are at risk of ending up incarcerated, homeless, on drugs, or even dealing with teenage parenthood. These kids are often in low-income families and underserved neighborhoods, in homeless shelters, or possibly already in the judicial system.  

 

As a matter of fact, did you know that at the end of the 2021-2022 school year there were 1,952 kids in the Oklahoma City school district experiencing homelessness and 350 of our youth were already incarcerated?

 

These are the kids that our hearts are burdened for! And these are the kids that we run after.  Our mentors take these amazing individuals and teach them to break free from the challenges holding them back and step into a brighter, more successful future.

 

We do this in our after-school program by taking the foundation of biblical principles that fosters resilience, courage, integrity, humility, and love and we couple that with the #1 top rated evidence-based life skills curriculum to promote mental, social, and physical stability. We teach them life skills, show them how to cope with stress and anxiety, and we educate them on substance abuse and its effect on the quality of life, as well as expose them to promising opportunities for their future selves. And as if that’s not enough, we sprinkle in the respect and love of neighbors and community by getting out, building relationships, and serving in the communities. Here’s your chance mom, dad, grandparent, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, teacher, friend, pastor,  to nominate the little person in your life to become a C.H.I.L.D. Champion!
