Going Through Changes - Part 2

This episode is just a quick update on our building purchase process. I am realizing it is a very slow process and it's very different from buying a house. With a board, we need to get everyone on board and moving in the same direction which takes some time. Additionally, we are all needed to play a part in the fundraising process so definitely some growing pains but overall, a good learning experience. We are just about ready to begin fundraising so hopefully the next update will be about how the process is going.

Going Through Changes - Part 1

This is the beginning of a side series exploring the process of finding a permanent home for Champions Youth Mentoring. As we go through the process there are a lot of unknowns, research, fears, and of course fundraising. If you can relate, we'd love to hear your story. Reach out to us at Champions@centerforchampions.org. Part of the big question we are facing now is do we rent space where we save money but have a bigger facility or do we buy which is much more expensive but in the end, we can create whatever we want and own it? We are praying for guidance and wisdom. That's for sure!

More Than a Match: How Mentorship Changes Both Lives

In this episode of The Champions Podcast, we sit down with Kurt and Ty'rez — a mentor and student whose friendship has grown far beyond the weekly meetups. They open up about what they've learned from each other, the fun they've shared, and how God's hand has been at work in the middle of it all. It's not always easy, but as you'll hear, real impact happens when you just keep showing up.
