Our 5 Pillars
Since 1973, New Life has maintained its commitment to youth development, taking a holistic approach to empowering teens ages 12-18 for adulthood through our five pillars of programming.Academics
Our academic pillar equips youth for success in school and beyond, emphasizing college and career readiness. We foster academic excellence through personalized homework assistance, structured study schedules, and motivational support. Our program connects success in the classroom with achievements in activities, including access to a cutting-edge STEM lab.
Arts
Our arts pillar empowers youth through creative expression, supporting their mental health and personal development. Our diverse programming includes dance, music, and other creative arts, designed to foster deep reflection and growth. By engaging in these artistic endeavors, youth can explore their talents and potential in a supportive environment, enhancing their ability to thrive and express themselves positively.
Athletics
Our athletics pillar emphasizes the integral connection between physical health and overall well-being. We offer a variety of sports, including tennis and sailing, along with our signature New Life Hoops basketball program. These activities foster community, discipline, and enjoyment, empowering youth to cultivate healthy habits and build positive relationships through sports.
Service
Our service pillar is designed to cultivate empathy and compassion among our youth by engaging them in community service activities. These experiences not only strengthen community bonds but also instill a deep sense of fulfillment from helping others.
Spiritual Formation
Our spiritual formation pillar nurtures youth by deepening their relationship with God and fostering ethical values. Through reflective practices and community connections, we provide a supportive space for personal growth, helping young people develop resilience and a compassionate outlook on life.
