Missions Minute - Akron Youth Mentorship (May 15, 2025)

Akron Youth Mentorship serves the youth of Akron and exists to mentor youth with biblical teaching to make life's eternal, emotional, educational, and occupational decisions. Their pillars of Mentorship, Education, Work readiness, and Experiences help them care for students and foster relationships built on trust between the mentors and mentees.
 
We have been praying for them to find a new executive director and God has graciously provided!  Their new executive director, LeShaunte Edwards, will start full time on June 1st. They are excited with his energy and vision for Akron Youth Mentorship.  The students are currently working on a 6 week financial literacy course run by US Bank.
 
Praises:

• New executive director will start on June 1st
• Bowl-to-Bless fundraiser brought in $38,000

 
Prayer requests:

• New office space as the current lease was not renewed
• Continued fundraising opportunities
• AYM is always looking for volunteers in various areas. They need mentors, tutors, and groups or individuals to commit to serving meals weekly. This may be a good opportunity for your small group or family to serve!

 
If the Lord is moving you to partner with AYM in any way, please reach out to their team to connect, by visiting their website at https://www.akronyouthmentorship.org.
