Champions of Hope is a unique program that provides young men an opportunity to serve as stewards of Centers for Youth & Families and develop civic leadership skills. The curriculum of this community service program addresses timely social issues including foster care, mental illness and human trafficking. As volunteers at The Centers, advocacy for change is a critical component of civic leadership skills.
These young men experience the value of community service and the difference it makes in the welfare of other Arkansans. As Champions of Hope, these gentlemen support not only Centers for Youth & Families, but also Greek Annunciation Church, Little Rock School District Athletic Foundation, Recycle Bikes for Kids, and more. The young men also participated in valuable leadership training from Congressman J. French Hill and Governor Asa Hutchinson.
Centers for Youth & Families celebrates these young men as servant leaders and honors the values they represent: family, respect, excellence and hope. For more than a century, the organization’s continued mission fulfillment had been building healthier communities throughout Arkansas.
