A Ministry House To Reach Inner-City Kids
This house will not only be a center for socializing, but, and more importantly, a place where learning can take place. Our greatest need in this realm is computers. With an extensive computer lab we can help kids with their homework, and help them go online and search for Grants so they can realize their dream of getting a higher education. We can give them an opportunity to learn, and improve, their computer skills - - a marketable skill that is quickly becoming a requirement when seeking gainful employment. http://ping.fm/yZHMR

Heart For The City is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that reaches out to at-risk youth and their families in the inner-city of Glendale who easily fall prey to drugs, gangs and crime to dull their pain and sense of despair. Heart For The City’s staff and volunteers mentor, tutor, and facilitate food and clothing to kids that some would call “throw-away” kids. Our mission is to provide healthy mentors so that kids who might be otherwise not complete or even make it to the 8th grade will go beyond 8th grade, high school, and even make it through college. We know that when kids receive a vision for life and have healthy mentors, they then have the ability to overcome some of the negative influence in their lives and help create positive habits. This in turn deters crime and violence in our cities.

Helping Hands
http://heartforthecityaz.org/index.php
For 30 years the message of hope has gone out to the at risk youth and their families of urban Glendale through Young Life and Heart for the City . Our mission is holistic among the at risk youth and their families. Our plan is to increase community development through raising indigenous leaders.
Need for a new kind of leadership in the inner-cities
There is a need for a new kind of leadership in the inner - cities - a need for men and women who are teaching and demonstrating by example the kind of character and values that bring purpose to life and positive direction.
The need for role models
Inner-city residents need role models from their own ethnic background, who have experienced similar situations, and who can give them hope, motivation, and courage to live for something above and beyond the lure of a life of crime or dependency. The ethnic urban leader who will have the greatest positive influence in his/her own community is the person who is a healthy role model - both morally and spiritually - and who will "roll up his/her sleeves" and become personally involved in the lives of those around them.
