ASPIRE
"Aspire" – a unique leadership program designed specifically for teens. Its purpose is to inspire and encourage our youth to become wise and influential individuals who embrace the true essence of life. This course delves into the time-honored wisdom found in the book of Proverbs, reflecting on the characters of the Wise, the Foolish, and the Simple. Through careful examination, teens are guided to recognize traits they might see in themselves, understanding how these characteristics can shape their thoughts, actions, goals, and ultimately, the direction of their lives.
Join us on this enriching journey, as we empower the next generation to grow in wisdom and love, fulfilling the commandment to love God and neighbor with all their hearts.
TARGET
Parents need help and young boys need wise direction to successfully face the challenges of their life. Adolescents often struggle with trying to be “something” or “someone” instead of walking in the rhythm of “who they are” based upon solid life principles. Harry Robinson comes alongside parents and mentors young boys to aspire to becoming wise and productive men. With pressures and challenges teens face and the questions they have about life's meaning and purpose, ASPIRE will unleash insights to discovering and pursuing their unique path and purpose.
FOCUS
Proverbs provides a clear picture of three characters and describes their behavior, their goals, and their plight in life. Through activities, stories, exercises, work groups and discussions, young men will see in tangible ways which character they might resemble - The Wise Man, The Foolish Man, or The Simple Man. With the caring and loving support of mentors and facilitators, they will gain insight and understanding of how to conduct their lives in such a way that they are able to think soundly about the choices they make and clearly understand the direction those choices may be leading.
GOAL
Our goal is to provide meaningful insight to these young men causing them to aspire to the greatness for which they were created by providing them a hands on workshop and access to well established adult mentors. Guided by the Aspire Workbook written by Harry Robinson, group discussions, and personal interviews with successful, caring and passionate men we will help young men discover their natural gifts, develop greater skills and confidenceand to explore how they can begin walking in their strengths.
