Our programs
Youth Mentoring
In a shift from the more traditional one-on-one techniques, H.Y.P.E. will utilize a “village mentoring” concept. We will work with faith-based and other community organizations who have been the foundation for community development and preservation. H.Y.P.E. will work with these organizations to identify and screen possible mentors. Afterwards mentees and mentors will participate in group activities. As needs arise the mentor who is best suited to meet the need will provide individualized mentorship to meet the need.
Become a H.Y.P.E. Mentor or Partner
A H.Y.P.E. mentor supervisor will track each participant and mentor's progress in reaching established goals and attendance. H.Y.P.E. will train each willing mentor on best practices, proper mentoring techniques, and organizational culture and values.
​
H.Y.P.E. is always looking to partner with like-minded organizations to create opportunities for our participants. We would like to enhance their exposure to careers that they may not normally have access to or even known existed.
Louisiana Youth For Excellence (LYFE)
Welcome to H.Y.P.E. and Louisiana Youth For Excellence (LYFE)! Together, we are dedicated to fostering positive youth and raising awareness about the consequences of at-risk behaviors among vulnerable youth, including those in foster care, poverty, and juvenile detention. Our mission is to prioritize these at-risk youth and expand our reach across Louisiana, sharing a powerful message of hope and resilience. Through collaboration with schools, non-profits, faith organizations, and the community, we aim to instill essential skills such as goal setting, leadership, character building, and integrity in every young person we touch.
