Organization
Urban K-Life brings lasting hope to urban teens one relationship at a time through outreach, fellowship, mentoring, and discipleship. They are deeply engaged in relationships with urban teens, and maintain a strong adult presence in city schools. They offer weekly club meetings where teens connect with loving adult mentors and engage in conversations about key life issues and God’s love and plan for them as individuals. They offer many other services like enrichment activities, tutoring programs, and most recently a partnership with the PGA REACH Foundation to improve academic performance and introduce urban students the sport of golf.
Partnership
Urban K-Life has a robust development team, with strong plans for growth in the development arena. They believed hiring a development assistant was key to the implementation of key development initiatives. The Brown Sisters invested in this position – a position that would cost 25% of targeted increase in development efforts, and an increase they believe would be sustainable after the granting year was complete.
