our mission
To empower urban youth to transform their communities for Christ.
WHAT MAKES US EFFECTIVE
Since 2004, Club Christ's tutoring and mentoring programs have impacted the lives of thousands of Las Vegas youth. We strive to meet the unique needs of our students through innovative assessments and personal learning plans. Elementary students enrolled in our weekly tutoring program typically improve one-two grade levels per year in their reading ability. With fun and engaging Bible lessons, every child develops a Biblical worldview and has the opportunity to develop a personal relationship with God.
our approach
Uniquely based out of under-resourced apartment complexes, our programs meet the needs of students by providing quality mentoring and academic support right where they live. We strive to empower students to make a lasting impact in their communities and to equip the next generation of young leaders.
