Church leaders have a special opportunity to walk alongside individuals and families during some of life’s most difficult seasons. They often build relationships rooted in trust and are in a unique position to recognize when someone may be struggling, offer a listening ear, and help connect families with the support and resources available to them. Advocacy doesn’t always mean having the perfect words or knowing exactly what to do—it can simply mean being present, showing compassion, and helping someone take the next step toward hope and stability. We’re seeking caring individuals who are willing to use their influence and relationships to support young people and families in their communities. Together, we can create a stronger network of people who are willing to notice, care, and step in when someone needs a helping hand. 🤍

Coaches have the incredible opportunity to impact young people far beyond the field, court, or gym. For many kids and teens, a coach can become a trusted mentor, a steady source of encouragement, and someone they know they can turn to when life gets difficult. By building genuine relationships, recognizing when something may be wrong, and helping young people and their families find the support they need, coaches can play a powerful role in strengthening their community. We’re looking for compassionate individuals who want to be more than a coach—they want to be an advocate, a mentor, and a positive presence for families and young people facing challenges. Sometimes, one person who believes in a young person can make all the difference. 💙

One violin teacher. One "yes." One life changed.

A teacher saw a child in foster care who loved music but couldn't afford lessons. Instead of walking past, they said: come learn, no charge.

What started as free violin classes turned into something bigger — that child found their voice, started writing their own songs, and discovered a piece of who they are that no one had made space for before.

That's what one caring adult can do.

That's also exactly what Advocate 101 is about.

This training equips everyday people — teachers, coaches, mentors, neighbors — with the tools to show up for kids who've been through hard things. You don't need a clinical degree to change a kid's trajectory. You need to know how to notice, how to listen, and how to make room.

🎹 Watch their story. Then imagine what your "yes" could look like.

👉 Registration for Advocate 101 is open now. Link in bio.
