MOA intervenes in the lives of at-risk youth between the ages of 8 - 18. Due to their behavior and attitudes these youth are typically rejected by their families, peers, and society. We expose these youth to dynamic outdoor learning activities while serving the needs of their body, mind and soul.
MOA’s primary focus is not on the 99, but for the 1 hurting youth. This youth has been rejected and dismissed by teachers, peers, counselors, and other society organizations that cannot break through their disruptive lifestyle. We are possibly their last stop before entering the juvenile system. These youth are completely unreachable in a group setting; therefore we meet the unmet needs of these children through our vigorous one-on-one mentoring approach in God’s outdoor sanctuary. We are set apart by this one-on-one approach of taking these youth step by step through 4 specific life changing phases. This is what differentiates MOA from other programs:
* MOA introduces youth to exciting and dynamic outdoor learning activities.
* MOA works with youth that others have given up on.
* MOA works with youth one-on-one in an effort to build trust and integrity.
* MOA directly benefits a youth’s body, mind, and soul.
