S.A.D.E.'s Hope

The Four Pillars
Academics: We assist young boys and girls who are underperforming across grades, attendance and behavior and display anger and low self-esteem with year-round academic and mentoring support (measured and monitored accountability).
Community/Leadership Development: By participating in community involvement events, the LHR program can help to develop leaders who have a strong sense of responsibility and commitment to their communities, members of the LHR program will participate in community volunteering projects, learning public speaking, and mentorship. LHR participants will learn the importance of leadership skills, strong work ethics, teamwork, communication skills (written and verbal), problem solving and taking initiative.
Creative Development: Allows LHR staff to build trusting relationships with mentees while teaching self-expression in positive outlets creative opportunities such as photography, spoken word, journaling, painting, music and other creative outlets.
