Grass Roots Vision
This is the Prodigal Son Initiative’s signature program. This after-school program helps and tutors children with: their homework; develops relationships with the children so they can speak freely about peer pressure, family issues and community issues they are experiencing; and educates the children about nutrition, health and opportunities/activities outside their community.
Un-Cut Diamond
The goal of this program is to show juveniles in youth detention facilities that they can still be valuable members of society. That with the proper mentorship and guidance they can become positive members of the community. Representatives from the Prodigal Son Initiative go to youth facilities to educate and build relationships with the juvenile inmates.
Rewards for Work
The goal of this program is to reward children for community service, improved grades and choosing healthy lifestyles. The children are taken on field trips to meet community leaders, visit museums, attend sports games or amusement parks and travel into the high country to experience high country activities such as rafting, hiking, camping and rock wall climbing.
