Founded in 1960 and incorporated in 1963, Hospitality House Youth Directions, Inc. (HHYD) is committed to developing responsible urban youth, ages 5-18, in their physical and intellectual development, their social integration and their spiritual birth and growth in Jesus Christ.
Our Strategy is to:
- Empower youth through educational and economic enrichment
- Inspire youth toward leadership development by developing their capacity for personal vision, self-confidence and solid personal values
- Nurture youth to become global in perspective and capabilities
- Affirm and integrate cultural perspectives into all programs
- Collaborate and coordinate with other community support services
P
rogram leadership is responsible to parents, school authorities, youth, churches, and community organizations. Staff members are maturing, compassionate adults with a consistent personal commitment to Jesus Christ as evidenced by their life style which conforms to Biblical disciplines. They serve as vital role models in a world which so desperately needs such living examples.
We believe that any project or program is only as good as the staff person directing it. Quality staff will develop quality programs and lasting relationships with young people.
Programs generally fall into the following areas:
- Education
- Athletics
- Performing Arts
- Community Outreach
Our programs provide a framework to address our long range objectives of training youth in the Christian faith and encouraging their development as responsible, contributing members of their families, schools, churches, and communities.
Hospitality House operates on a holistic model, meeting the emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual needs of all youth.
