JABEZ Youth Foundation utilizes various activities to engage with the youth in a fun, helpful, and interactive way. These activites include soccer camp, mentoring,
planned trips to arcades and other local attractions, as well as providing scholarships to those targeted by the program. These activities are marketed at schools,
on social media, and at the local churches for those who are interested.
Mentoring/Tutoring
Mentoring is a one-to-one caring, supportive relationship between a mentor and a mentee that is
based on trust. Tutoring, also a one-to-one activity, focuses on academics and is an effective
practice when addressing specific needs such as reading writing or math competencies.
Early Literacy Development
Early interventions to help low-achieving students improve their reading and writing skills
establish the necessary foundation for effective learning in all other subjects.
Service-Learning
Service-learning connects meaningful community service experiences with academic learning.
This teaching/learning method promotes personal and social growth, career development, and
civic responsibility; and can be a powerful vehicle for effective school reform at all grade levels.
Family Engagement
Research consistently finds that family engagement has a direct, positive effect on children’s
achievement and is the most accurate predictor of a student’s success in school
Early Childhood Education
Birth-to-five interventions demonstrate that providing a child additional enrichment can enhance
brain development. The most effective way to reduce the number of children who will
ultimately drop out of school is to provide the best possible classroom instruction from the
beginning of their school experience through the primary grades.
Scholarships
A main goal for JABEZ Youth Foundation, Inc is to provide scholarships to at-risk youth. This
scholarship, ultimately, will be provided in the form of funding for college and secondary
education. In the interim, JABEZ Youth Foundation focuses on two scholarship goals:
Mentoring and tutoring with Christ
Children work hard at school and home, dedicating their lives to Christ and doing better
in our communities based on the ministry, direction, and guidance provided through the program.
