We’re empowering families to build their own paths toward a brighter future.

You’re 13 years old.

You want to finish school, chase big dreams, and build a better future.

But the odds say only 4 in 10 young people are completing high school.

That’s the reality for the students we work with. Barriers like poverty, lack of access, and generational hardship can stack the odds against them before they even begin.

But with your help—we’re changing that.

Mentorship. Tutoring. Consistent support.

We’re working to rewrite the story so that every child has the chance to finish school—and thrive beyond it.

🎓 The odds may be steep, but together, we’re leveling the playing field.

Sometimes, changing a future starts with learning how to manage what you have today. 💛

We first introduced financial literacy through our entrepreneurship program—and quickly saw that the need extended far beyond the entrepreneurs we serve.

We’ve watched practical tools like budgeting, saving, and financial planning begin to create real change in the lives of participants and their families.

So we’re taking what we’ve learned and opening it up to the broader community.

This year, we’re offering monthly financial literacy classes for parents who want to build practical skills and create greater financial stability for their families.

Because transformation doesn’t always happen all at once. Sometimes, it starts with a new skill, a different decision, or simply learning that there is another way forward.

These are the tools that, little by little, can change lives.

A little change of plans…

We’re moving our Roaring Trivia Affair to a new date! 🎩✨

Mark your calendars for Friday, November 20th and get ready for an unforgettable evening at Gatsby’s.

Same glamorous theme. Same great cause. Just a new date!

If you’ve already marked October 2 on your calendar, swap it out for November 20.

We can’t wait to see you there! 🥂

3 Years of Joy Club!!

Three years of showing up, loving students, and building relationships that matter.

We’re so grateful for the incredible team that makes Joy Club what it is—and especially for our fearless leader, Kenna, whose heart, creativity, and dedication have shaped this program from the very beginning.

Here’s to three years of Joy Club and all that’s still ahead. 💛

Our Joy Club Director, Kenna, shared a story recently that reminded us why mentorship matters so much.

When Roxy joined Joy Club at 17 as a helper, she came ready to serve and learn. Through consistent relationships and opportunities to grow, she began discovering her own ability to lead.

This year, after turning 18, she officially became a fourth-grade mentor and joined the Joy Club team as an intern as well. She’s helping mentor younger students and creating spaces for them to grow, use their gifts, and believe in what’s possible.

The same teenager who first came to Joy Club to learn and serve is now helping raise up the next generation of young leaders.

This is the heart of Joy Club. 💛

Last year at our fundraising event, we tried something a little different.

Instead of simply asking people to give, we invited them to step into a specific need—to sponsor a student, provide meals, stock a classroom, provide Bibles for our mentorship program, and more.

And you showed up. As this year has unfolded, we’ve watched every single one of those needs get met.

A student has a place in our program. A classroom is stocked with the supplies it needs. Students have shared meals around a soccer field. Young people have received Bibles to read, learn from, and grow through.

This is what generosity can do. It doesn’t just provide something. It creates possibility.

And we’re so grateful for everyone who chose to step in and make all of this possible.

Swipe to see the moment those needs were met—and the impact that followed. 💛

¡Feliz Fiestas Patrias, Perú! ❤️

Today we celebrate the country that forever changed our lives.

Thank you, Peru, for welcoming us, teaching us, and allowing us the privilege of walking alongside so many incredible people and communities.

It's an honor to celebrate with you today. 🇵🇪

Some stories come full circle. Luz’s is one of them. 💛

In 2023, Luz and her husband, Adhemir, took a courageous step by opening a small convenience store through our entrepreneurship program.

Over time, their hard work began transforming their family’s daily life. They improved their home, gained access to running water, and created a space where their daughter could have a room of her own. Luz also continued investing in herself by enrolling in university.

But perhaps the most beautiful part of Luz’s story is that her growth didn’t stop with her own family.

She began stepping into leadership at her church, encouraging other entrepreneurs in our program, and this year joined our tutoring program as a volunteer—pouring into children from her own community and helping create opportunities she once needed herself.

A student became a leader.

A participant became a mentor.

What began as an opportunity for one person is now extending outward—impacting children, families, and an entire community in ways we never could have imagined.

This is why we believe in transformation that multiplies.

Before there were programs, partners, or plans…
There was just a dream—born in the Amazon, fueled by love, and built on the belief that families shouldn’t have to break apart just to make ends meet.
This was Day 1.
Thanks for being part of the story ever since.

When we first launched our after-school program during the pandemic, the goal was simple: help students catch up academically after months of school closures. And over time, we’ve watched so many of them do exactly that.

But as the years have gone on, we’ve also recognized a deeper need—literacy.

We’re seeing students in upper primary grades who still struggle to read fluently and write independently. And when those foundational skills are missing, every other subject becomes harder too.

So this year, we’ve made a shift. We’re focusing intentionally on reading and writing—helping students build the foundational skills that everything else depends on.
