Youth and Teen Programs

HeartLove Place recognizes the importance of youth becoming spiritually mature, self-sufficient and personally responsible members of the community in which they live. HeartLove Place truly understands that you must be given opportunities and activities for advancement within a safe and structured environment to develop a lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ, increase academic achievement, and develop life skills.  We nurture personal growth, increase citizenship and civic responsibility.  We also engage in healthy recreational activities, and practice and promote responsible decision making.
