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.
