Hope, defined by Merriam-Webster, is "to cherish a desire with anticipation: to want something to happen or be true.” For some youth, there is no hope, no anticipation, and no plans for the future. Be Excellent’s goal for the Hope Program is to ignite hope in the hearts of those youth. This is accomplished through sharing the love of Christ through different activities, such as day camps, games, arts, crafts, sports, and teaching the Bible.
