Clubhouse in a Box
Seeds of Hope is a registered Christian 501 (c) 3 and is committed to ending child trafficking. We are called to give “at-risk” children and teenagers a safe places to gather and experience God’s love, and to learn important life skills that will inspire potential and empower them with new economic opportunities.
We have written a program called “Clubhouse in a Box” which is versatile and adaptable to different cultures. We developed this program during the last seven years in Costa Rica and it is now ready to be duplicated in other locations around the world.
How we do it.
Seeds offers 9-week courses in:
English, Vocations, Healthy Relationships, Personal Growth and Bible
Students are motivated to come and learn by our rewards system.
There are five nine-week sessions per year. During each session students can take up to six nine-week courses.
For each course completed the student will receive a graduation certificate which can be used to gain future employment.
Students must attend at least seven of the nine classes, on time, to receive this certificate for the course.
The goal for each student is to receive:
Ten credits in English, Ten credits in Bible, Ten credits in Healthy Relationships, Ten credits in Vocational Skills, and Ten Credits in Personal Growth.
Seeds of Hope has three levels of students:
-Students who are currently enrolled in the program
-Students who are interns at SOH
-Students who have gone through the program and who are now on staff at SOH
