We seek to provide our participants pathways for spiritual growth and maturity through outdoor exploration and activities. We desire to partner with single parents as another healthy influence in the process of raising their sons and young men in their care. Truth in Nature promotes Christian character, healthy self-esteem, working alongside others, and personal responsibility. We understand that promoting these qualities and behaviors will help deter at-risk conduct. Truth in Nature accomplishes our goals through a committed group of volunteer mentors who spend time listening, encouraging and supporting. Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM ACCOMPISHMENTS MENTORING-Truth in Nature mentors boys from fatherless and single parent homes through our monthly program offerings. Each young man is part of a monthly, overnight, or day only program where they have mentors present to reach, inspire, support and engage them through their middle and high school years. Truth in Nature uses the outdoors and activities such as, camping, hunting fishing, canoeing, archery, etc. as the backdrop for these programs and for them to experience the things that are typically done between fathers and sons done outdoors, that they do not otherwise get the opportunity to experience. TEACHING THE CHRISTIAN FAITH-Each program is designed for a young man to grow in his walk in the Christian faith. Through our devotional time, small group time, prayer time, and man time around the fire, we accomplish this. POSITIVE PERSONAL GROWTH-Each young man, by having a mentor, will experience personal growth in the positive relationships that they are building. Young men are being referred from at-risk agencies in the communities and are able to fulfill the requirement for the agency and continue in our programs. These programs will result in walking away from at-risk behaviors, giving an outlet to express pain and hurts, while sharing from past bad decisions.
