The Hands On Program for Excellence (H.O.P.E.)

J-Factor Youth group, in cooperation with 19:20 Solutions, has launched its newest program especially tailored for youth ages 15-21. The Hands On Program for Excellence or H.O.P.E. was launched last September 2, 2006 at Mactan Church of Christ building located at Carajay, Gun-ob, Lapu-Lapu City.

A number of young people has attended the H.O.P.E. launching last September 2, 2006 and has signed up for this program. The launching was basically about what H.O.P.E. is, why it was organized and how it can help young people.

Many of our young people, nowadays, just do not see their future clearly. They are indulging on enjoyment and the present. They are just not visionaries of the moment. The problem comes in when they get used to it or they end up growing old without knowing what they are actually made for. Most young people see their destination like walking through a foggy valley. Our goal in H.O.P.E. is to provide them fog-light and help them walk bravely through the foggy way.

H.O.P.E. is a systematic method of mentoring young people in order that they will not just be excellent and successful in life but also to prepare them to welcome success or even failure.

Our ideas are simple yet systematic and pragmatic. The following are the basic steps:

Step#1 Dealing from the Inside (“Knowing Yourself”)

Step#2 Dealing with Your Thinking ( “Desiring to Change”)

Step#3 Preparing Yourself for the Future (“Having the Right Vision”)

Step#4 Developing Skills (“Enhancing Leadership Potential” & “Working Smart Not Just Harder”)

H.O.P.E. believes in the mentoring approach of teaching young people while giving them the freedom to express themselves in the most practical ways.
