 Every kid has a dream….but for many, their dreams are dying. Today, 20% of young people live in poverty. In many of our neighborhoods, dropout rates exceed 50%. Drop outs are 8 times more likely to go to prison than those who stay in school.
What can we do? How can we stem the tide? What will reach the next generation to instill in them hope and purpose for a bright tomorrow? How might we keep them motivated?
The Powered for Life (PfL) curriculum from Jobs for Life provides churches, rescue missions, prison ministries and other Christian organizations the tools necessary to train and equip 16-23 year old disadvantaged youth to obtain meaningful employment and the
abundance of God’s provision.
Developed with over 10,000 hours of volunteer effort from Jobs for Life leaders and friends, PfL is a powerful tool to lead young people in your community to know who God is, uncover their gifts and talents, live with purpose, and help them dream for the future. Here is what has been said by those who have used the PfL curriculum:
“My friends need to take this”
“They wouldn’t stop talking during small group discussions”
“Had students attention like nothing we’ve taught before”
“Fun and easy to teach’
“God became relevant to our students”
PfL graduates will be powered to:
- Realize their God given purpose
- Establish better relationships
- Develop communication skills

resources
