How We Prepare Leaders

Compassion's Youth Development Program provides youth ages 12 and older with customized training and educational paths according to their own unique potential, and God-given talents and purpose.

Our prayer is that each young person finishes well in the Compassion program, equipped with the knowledge, skills, abilities and behaviors that allows them to succeed and have a sustainable way to support themselves.

Your donation, a tangible demonstration of the meaning of compassion, will help a student develop impactful Christian leadership skills and help them achieve their dreams.
