A Word from our Executive Director
Executive Director

I would first like to say that I, along with all of our team are sincerely heartbroken over the very tragic event that took place at The Covenant School in Nashville. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the families, staff and all who were impacted by that senseless act.

As I reflect on all that is happening in the world around us, it strengthens my commitment to continue the work we're doing here at Stronger Than My Father. It is important to me that we do all we can to build the children, youth and families in our community. It takes all of us, together and united to make positive impacts that will make a difference. We would love for you to join us in this effort.

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." - Helen Keller


In solidarity,

Stronger Sons Mentorship Program
The Power of Positive Decision Making
We are building stronger sons in our mentoring program. In this month's session, the young men learned the valuable lesson of making the right choices. The intense activity showed them how their decisions can directly impact the lives of others. They learned that they must think BEFORE THEY MAKE A MOVE!

We are thankful for the opportunity to pour into the lives of these young men. Special thanks to all of our mentors for their sacrifice of time and labor of love.

Hope Leadership Academy
Exciting things are always happening at Hope!

At Hope Leadership Academy our students enjoy the opportunity to engage in meaningful and fun activities after school, while building lasting relationships with their friends and peers. The staff carve out time daily to assist students with their homework assignments as well as prepare exciting curriculum projects. One thing we hear students tell their parents often is: "you picked me up too early"! Our team loves reminding them that there's more fun awaiting them tomorrow!
