LifeQuest USA Inc. is a 501c3 public charity

OUR IDENTITY

Our logo is symbolic of the most vital component needed for providing genuine life change...a relationship.  In this mark (seen in the background), the Mentor “stands behind” and fully “supports” our troubled Youth by providing needed emotional and spiritual support, character development, career guidance and encouragement portrayed by the placement of a caring hand on the shoulder.  Yellow is representative of celebration, the dawn of a new day and ultimately, the opportunity of new life in Jesus Christ.  Charcoal (the color of this text) is representative of a strong, long-lasting foundation, continually being refined to better serve the ongoing needs of those we minister to.

OUR PASSION   

Our primary calling is to the adjudicated youth of the juvenile justice system.  This includes youth on probation, in detention and on parole.  Secondary to this population, we will work with any youth that could be considered “at-risk”.  This could include, but is not limited to, youth that are in the protective custody system (foster care).

OUR MISSION

First and foremost we are ambassadors for Jesus Christ.  We share the gospel and, through discipleship, we foster the spiritual growth of the individual.  In addition, through the mentoring relationship, we seek to better equip youth, who are struggling, for adulthood.  This preparation includes the Basic LifeSkills, lacking in most young people today.  We aim to successfully integrate each youth into society with the knowledge needed for a career that fits their unique personality, talents, gifts and interests.  

OUR TOOLBOX

At the heart of all that we is the relationship between our youth and their mentor.  All other tools revolve around this hub.  In order to initiate a relationship between one of our mentors and a youth, we are contstantly offering experiences that serve as “hooks”, catching their attention and peaking their interest.  Some examples of these “hooks” are:    

• Weekly Bible Studies    
• Camp DayB.R.E.A.K. (Being Responsible Educated Alert Kids)    
• Painting and Drawing classes    
• Cook-outs

Once the relationship is established and in order to effectively support the mentor and further equip the youth, we offer classes such as:    

• Basic LifeSkills    
• Pre-apprenticeship in the trades

and finally, for those youth that have shown that they are F.A.T. (Faithful, Available, and Teachable) over a period of time, we continue to support them with Employment Services such as:    

• Job training    
• Apprenticeships    
• Job placement
