Emerging Light creates and runs "youth clubs" within local communities in an effort to provide a fun and safe environment where kids and teens can come and have fun, dinner and build authentic relationships with volunteer adults that are loving, dedicated, energetic and faithful. The youth clubs primary goal is to reach kids and teens.
Emerging Light provides educational scholarships to help growing and motivated youth face adulthood and college with support, accountability and hope. Scholarships are offered to youth primarily from the youth clubs, where growth and education are real goals.

~ Kodi
