Jubilee
Youth Center activities include weekly meetings of our two youth
groups; Red Group, which is composed of 10-13 year-olds, and Blue
Group, which is composed of 14-17 year-olds. Randy Hildebrant, an
Oklahoma native and a commissioned Church and Community
Worker, is Jubilee Project's Youth Ministry Coordinator.
Jubilee
Youth Center provides entertainment outings, outdoor adventuring
education for leadership training,
seasonal parties, mission trips, and faith development to its
members. Each summer, Jubilee Youth take a trip to North
Carolina,
where the youth work at the Salvation Army, and learn about the
local ecology with the help of a
marine biologist. David Whitt, of D&K Studios, has
partnered with
us to offer free photography classes (sponsored by the Tennessee Arts
Commission's Arts Build Communities Grant and East Tennessee
Foundation), and we have also been able to offer guitar and music
lessons. We are a
chapter of Trips for Kids, a national organization that exists to
provide the opportunity for underprivileged youth to experience the
benefits of mountain biking. Visit our TFKJubilee page
to find out more about this great program.
Recently,
Jubilee Project began an apprenticeship program which matches youth
with community and career role models, and includes job shadowing,
career planning, college
visits, and assistance in filling out scholarship and financial aid
applications. We have had three apprentice participants and
their job-shadowing has gone very well.
Jubilee
Youth also have the opportunity to work on their leadership skills, to
participate in faith building activities, and to help those in need in
our area by performing home repairs through Jubilee Project's Housing
Development Program.
We
are in need of your assistance to
achieve our goals for the Jubilee Youth Center. You can give to
Randy Hildebrant's salary support through the National Advance
