  • Harvest Hands Youth Development Program

    CHILDREN AND YOUTH - HARVEST HANDS OFFERS AN AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR AND A FULL-DAY PROGRAM IN THE SUMMER FOR ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN SOUTH NASHVILLE. HARVEST HANDS IS A PLACE WHERE STUDENTS CAN CONNECT WITH POSITIVE ROLE MODELS AND RECEIVE THE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT NECESSARY FOR ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND HEALTHY SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT. WE PROVIDE A HEALTHY SNACK, OPPORTUNITY FOR HOMEWORK ASSISTANCE AND TUTORING, OPPORTUNITIES TO ENGAGE IN THE ARTS AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES AS WELL AS EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE CITY. HARVEST HANDS VALUES FAMILIES, CHILDREN AND YOUTH, AND WE BELIEVE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION BEGINS WITH INVESTING IN THE LIVES OF KIDS. KIDS AGE 12-21 HAVE ADDITIONAL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH TWO MICROENTERPRISE VENTURES, HUMPHREYS ST COFFEE AND SOAP, THAT DOUBLE AS MENTORING PROGRAMS. THE VISION IS TO DEVELOP YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN INTO RESPONSIBLE LEADERS WHO ACHIEVE ACADEMIC SUCCESS, GIVE BACK IN SERVICE TO OTHERS AND THE COMMUNITY, AND MATURE IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. WE SEEK TO DEVELOP LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS WITH THESE YOUTH THAT WILL SERVE TO OFFSET NEGATIVE PRESSURES FACED ON THE STREETS AND IN SCHOOL. HSCC&S OFFER THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUTH TO LEARN SKILLS IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP THROUGH STUDENT-RUN OPERATIONS IN COFFEE ROASTING AND SOAP MAKING, WITH A FOCUS ON SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICES.
