education, prevention, inspiration

We are inspired. God breathed. Together we want to inspire healthy choices, education, wellness, growth, community safety, faith, and hope in the youth we serve.

Inspire Youth Services is the prevention and education-focused branch of Options programming. Our hope is that youth never have to face the challenges of an unexpected pregnancy, *STBBIs, psychosocial insecurity, and other preventable outcomes. To this end, Inspire Youth Services seek to provide opportunities that will help youth understand their value and exercise their capacity to become all they can be.

Inspire Youth Services empowers individuals aged 11 to 25 through prevention-focused education, resume-boosting opportunities, female empowerment initiatives, and much more. Additionally, we seek to equip parents, teachers, and community members with knowledge and practical tools to better support the youth in their circle of influence.

*Sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections

 
 

    • Help youth recognize their value and develop a positive sense of self-worth.

    • Build confidence and life skills that support healthy decision-making.

    • Provide mentorship and supportive relationships for youth.

    • Offer practical volunteer and work experience opportunities.

    • Deliver workshops that support personal development and well-being.

    • Encourage youth to make positive contributions in their communities.
