About
Biblical Foundation: 2 Peter 1:3-4 (NIV)
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
Students Empowered, a faith-based, non-profit organization, facilitates the successful formation of High School Students in Chicago, into adulthood by providing programs that will holistically empower them to overcome the obstacles for success within their communities. We focus on students overall growth and maturity by implementing a biblically-based program that:
- Include activities that take place outside of the classroom that will cause students to be exposed to other cultural experiences, and embrace their history as it relates to gender and ethnicity specifics.
- Include activities that will cultivate their social skills, educate them about career options, and help to increase their employability chances.
- Assist students with making a transition to living as adults and helping them to possess the skills, resources, and support necessary to manage successfully on their own.
Students assess their personal attributes, gifts and skills and prepare to succeed with a well developed plan for their education and career goals and learn the principles of Building Success on a Foundation of Faith!
