ABOUT REBOUND MINISTRIES, INC.
Rebound Ministries Inc. is a mentor training program for at-risk youth. Our goal is to motivate and encourage young people to understand and believe that they can learn to rebound from the challenges and adversity they have faced in their lives and move forward to lead more productive lives of hope and purpose. The Rebound Ministries, Inc. program does this by proactively investing in the lives of at-risk youth and personally mentoring, motivating, and encouraging them through a seven-week, faith-based curriculum. Throughout the program, participants are taught valuable life skills as well as technical skills that increase their chances of being successful in the fast-paced and peer-pressured society in which we live. Each week of the program focuses on one of Rebound’s seven core values and guiding principles: Resilience, Endurance, Boundaries, Obedience, Unity, Need, and Deny.
To graduate from the program, participants must complete a written assignment describing what they have learned from the Rebound program and how they plan to use what they have learned to better their life. Upon completion of all requirements, Rebound students attend a graduation ceremony and reception where they are presented a certificate of completion. At that time, they are also connected to valuable resources and services to assist them in their efforts to stay on track and become responsible and valued members of their communities.
Our mission is to proactively invest in the lives of at-risk and incarcerated youth throughout the nation by personally mentoring, motivating, and teaching them through a seven-week, faith-based curriculum that they can learn to rebound from the challenges and adversity they face in their lives and move forward to lead productive lives of hope and purpose. Our focus is on instilling valuable life skills and technical skills that will increase their chances of being successful.
The seven week Rebound mentoring program is offered to young people free of charge in multiple Texas Counties (Cooke, Collin, Dallas, Denton, Kaufman, Smith, and Tyler) in juvenile detention centers, halfway house partnerships, and public and private schools after school programs. Funding is needed for the resources to continue to provide this vital mentoring to at-risk youth and to expand our training programs for mentors to provide the programming to those in need. All funds raised go toward these goals of reaching more young people to instill the core Rebound values and skills needed for young people to "bounce back" when they are met with adversity and challenges in life so they can look forward to futures filled with hope.
