At Kessid one of our core values is to partner with existing organizations that are already doing great work in our community. Our hope is to help provide the resources (volunteers, supplies, funding, etc.) they need to do the work God has called them to. Below is a list of our current ministry partners. We encourage you to prayerfully read through to see if God may be calling you to partner as well.
Teach One to Lead One
Community Mentoring Program
Teach One to Lead One® is a community mentoring program that teaches Universal Principles to lead students into a life of purpose and potential.
Teach One to Lead One (T1L1) is a national organization that also partners with Elementary, Middle, and High Schools in our community. It is an impossible goal for teachers and educators to do both the emotional-social as well as education equipping of students. This is why it’s vital for mentors to come alongside these students. T1L1 trains mentors to bring hope and stability to students in need.
