ABOUT G.A.N.G.S.T.A.
God's Anointed Next Generation Saving Those Astray
MISSION.
To motivate, empower, and strengthen young people by providing opportunities that connect purpose to their lived experiences.
SCRIPTURAL REFERENCE .
Put on all the armor that God gives, so you can defend yourself against the devil's tricks. We are not fighting against humans. We are fighting against forces and authorities and against rulers of darkness and powers in the spiritual world.
Ephesians 6:11-12 CEV
PHILOSOPHY.
We exist to provide life changing opportunities to underprivileged youth, ages 10 to 20, that feel misplaced through music, theater, dance, sports, art, workforce development, mentorship, and basic needs enhancements. These opportunities will highlight their strengths, make them feel valued, widen their horizons, shift their trajectory, and give them hope for their future.
Targeted actions of the organization in connection to the mission:
INSPIRE
EMPOWER
SUPPORT
Racial and financial disparities, among other factors, contribute to the statistics of imprisonment, abandonment, poverty, and lack of mental health resources.
G4TK aims to INSPIRE youth to reach beyond circumstances to embrace God’s purpose for their lives.
We do this by providing SUPPORT systems, educational resources, and structured therapeutic services that will leave an imprint within their hearts, minds, families, and communities.
Finally, G4TK's programs will EMPOWER youth to achieve higher levels of education, express creativity through the arts, and reach back to pull others out of statistical and environmental circumstances.
With God… we are changing the world… one teen, one family… and one community at a time.
