The mission of A Second Mile is to provide resources and outreach to children from broken homes by promoting educational enrichment, team work, as well as physical and emotional support that will build self confidence and develop responsible leaders for the next generation.
"And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two" - Matthew 5:41 (NKJV)

OUR VISION
Conquering the Effects of Broken Homes and Fatherless Children
It is our passion to see young lives changed for the better. Where other programs and resources have allowed our youth in unique circumstances to fall between the cracks, we try to pick up and go with them, the second mile. Not because we have to, but because we choose to. A Second Mile is the mile of endurance, commitment, and purpose.
Our programs are designed to....
-
Create an atmosphere of encouragement and self confidence which will help to build a positive self image and healthy self esteem.
-
Provide guidance and emotional support through one-on-one and group mentoring events
-
Promote the sport programs and events that will foster team work, competition, discipline and fair play.
-
Provide resources that operate as an extension of A Second Mile (ASM) for our youth and their families.
-
Provide opportunities for academic success which include literary programs, tutoring and scholastic achievement recognition and scholarships.
We are working hard to help build a stronger community where hope is alive and dreams spring high.
