Run Youth is a faith-driven mentorship and leadership program designed to support middle and high school students as they navigate life’s challenges. Centered on biblical values, the program offers a welcoming space where young people can deepen their faith, form meaningful connections, and discover their unique purpose.

Through a mix of mentorship, discipleship, and personal growth opportunities, Run Youth helps students strengthen their spiritual walk while also building emotional resilience and academic confidence.

Each week, students in grades 6–12 come together for engaging gatherings that include snacks, games, and uplifting messages tailored to encourage and inspire.

Run Youth operates as a part of Heartland Hope Mission, with spiritual oversight provided by Pastors Dodji and Chelsea Salifou, who also lead Heartland Hope Mission. Their guidance and passion for youth ministry continue to shape a program that’s rooted in love, growth, and purpose.
