ABOUT FIGHT 4LIFE -
How Does Fight 4Life Serve?
Fight 4Life is more than a ministry to
many of our young children in the urban
community of West Jefferson. It is a
safe haven, a home away from home were
children can work together, complete
homework assignments, enjoy fun
activities and special events surrounded
by loving volunteers and staff in a Christian atmosphere.
1. Tutoring/Homework Help
Tutoring, mentoring, boxing and fitness,
bible group sessions are some of the
ways we are able to help children
improve on their character, emotions,
school and home life. A homework
assistant is designed to help children
in many areas to excel academically.
Volunteers and staffs help children with
homework and research papers. Children
use the computer Lab for research,
typing reports and for game time.
2. Bible/Mentor Group Session
Bible group talk sessions allows our
young people the opportunity to talk
about issues and conditions they are
confronted with daily in their lives.
These talks also provide each child the
opportunity to develop a personal
relationship with Christ. Set goals that
lead to academic success and create
individual plans to improve on
self-confidents, attitudes, and
spiritual growth.
3. Ladies of Hope (Young Mothers)
Program:
Ladies of Hope Program is designed to
equip young mothers between the ages of
16 to 22 of year old with valuable
mothering skills from volunteering
mature mothers, grandmothers and single
mothers having gone through similar
circumstances. Involvement in group talk
sessions allows young mothers to help
each other in many ways. The Ladies of
Hope program provides young mothers with
clothing, car seat and other baby items
as they become available.
For more information about the program
or how you can become involved contact

Who do we serve?
Fight 4Life serves urban youth of all
nationalities, ethnic and cultural
backgrounds. The majority of
teens/adolescents and young children
coming to Fight 4Life comes from
families--who have a history of being
socially or economically disadvantaged.
Fight 4Life Fitness and Boxing uses the
art of boxing to empower young people
through academic, social skills,
spiritual growth, mental peace and
physical fitness. Staff and volunteers
are attentive to youth whether they are
seeking answers or acceptance. Staff and
volunteers are willing to share and
introduce our young people to Jesus
Christ as they encourage and help them
grow in their faith. |
