Exodus Youth Project
Donation protected
The name of our group is Exodus. We are an excited and motivated group of twelve to eighteen years-old young people in Hempstead, New York. The mission of our group, and its name, derived from the scriptural concept where the children of Israel left Egypt, and Pharaoh’s bondage, and traveled to the promise land. In like manner, the vision of our leaders and the members of this group is to empower and to challenge the youth in our community to be creative, purposeful, and advantageous lifestyle. We believe change can only be obtained through education, experience, and exposure.
The group began with the young people of Calvary Tabernacle Church, but has been extended to the neighborhood youths in our communities. Over the years, the church has incorporated ideas and promotional activities to fund scholarships, leadership workshops, conventions, and empowerment seminars in different states all over the country. This year our goal is to expose at least fifty young people to the North American Youth Congress in Oklahoma City.
The youth congress is a gathering of eighteen to twenty thousand youths from all over the country. This event will not only take us off the streets for a week in the summer, it is one of the tools of exposure and empowerment that conditions us to become leaders and responsible citizens of tomorrow.
We are trying to ease the burden of our local church; therefore, we reaching out to concerned individuals, organization, and groups, to partner with us to subsidize the cost of airline tickets, food, and accommodation, so that we can achieve the benefits of this endeavor. Thank you, and may the God of heaven bless you as you bless us.
