Ripple Effect 22(RE22) is the premier program and youth center for todays youth. We will help them to be, or to become, impactful men and women in whatever arena they are called to be apart of. It is a program in which professional adults can use their God given gifts, talents, and abilities to help mentor and nurture the youth of today so that they have access to opportunities, tools, and direction to cultivate their own gifts to become not just successful but significant members of society. Our goal is to impart direction, wisdom, skill, experience, responsibility, a safe haven, and faith values to youth. With these attributes, and opportunities provided for them through RE22 the obstacles and barriers once blocking them from their purpose, are now hurdles that can be overcome.Through Ripple Effect 22 professionals with the heart to bless others with their time and effort, can pour into youth's lives. Just enlightening the children to their importance, and potential purpose will make a huge difference to someone whose eyes are now open to endless opportunities, and possibilities. This new perspective will be the ripple that will affect not just their lives but their sphere of influence as well. Ripple Effect 22 will help the youth who are searching for something greater than the status quo. We will foster and encourage them to live out and pursue their call in life through a curriculum tailored to the individual youth. Our goal is to help them work in their gifting, and use their gifting to walk out their purpose, and when they had established themselves in the arena they feel called to be in, we will encourage them to come back and give back, by mentoring another young person to do the same. Our mission is to express to them that they are fearfully and wonderfully made. As a faith based organization, we want the love of God to radiate through each board member, staff, volunteer, and mentor to help transform these children's hearts, minds, and actions.
