Overview

Mission

We focus in the area of education with teens ages 13 - 19. We discuss topics that the teens face daily. We use curriculum that is fact based, such as "Aspire". We meet bi-weekly with an average of 7 - 12 teens attending each meeting. We provide a warm meal at each meeting and have monthly celebrations for birthdays and holidays. The teens also participate in our service/mission project each month at a local soup kitchen in our neighboring city, Pensacola, FL at Loaves and Fishes Homeless Shelter. This shelter is for families that must have children.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Teen Life Center, located in a rural town, Milton, FL, continues to volunteer 2 - 3 Mondays a month at Loaves and Fishes Homeless Shelter and Soup Kitchen. We assist Rev. Ron in the kitchen with preparing meals for the residents or packaging breakfast items needed daily to feed the homeless in the community. Also, for the 2026 calendar year, the teens are making sanitary bags which consist of sanitary pads, feminine sanitary wipes, anti-bacterial hand wipes, one pair of underwear, and deodorant. These bags are delivered to 8 local Title I schools and are replenished as the schools need them. This project will go on for the entire year. This year we were blessed to partner with the female sports teams at Milton High School. We began in December with the girls' varsity basketball team. Once a month our organization provides the team with a meal before the game, and I offer education and an opportunity for the teens to discuss any topics they may have questions about and/or having issues with.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
