Our Programs

Adult Education Program
A community of self-sufficient adults is a community of pride that passes on from generation to generation.  Our goal is to help establish that sense of pride by providing programs that produce victors, not victims. Restore has partnered with organizations who provide monthly seminars in life skills, such as parenting, nutrition, job skills, and computer skills.

Children's Learning Center
Restore Orlando provides an after-school/after care program from the hours of 2:30 - 6:00 p.m. for the youth of the Holden Heights community.  Programs we've offered in the Learning Center are reading and math tutoring, homework assistance, computer instruction, a mentor program, a dance program, and a teen volunteer leadership program.

Additional programs include sports, arts and crafts, and educational field trips. The Restore Orlando gymnasium provides indoor basketball,

At Restore Hope Orlando we offer an Adult Education Program, Children’s Learning Center, Community Outreach Program, Home Ownership Program, Kids Café, and a Martial Arts Program

volleyball and other activities which help to keep the children safe from the streets. In an effort to aid the schools in increasing reading scores on standardized tests, Restore will be implementing a new reading program  (Reading for Success) during the 07-08 school year.

Community Outreach Program
The primary goal of this program is to instill and restore a deeper and lasting hope that comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ to families and individuals of the Holden Heights community. This is being established through evangelism, prayer, education, and economic development.

Kids Café
Kids Cafe provides healthy meals five days a week for children who otherwise may go hungry. Studies show that a healthy meal enables children to achieve higher in academics, sports and other activities.  Kids Café is a program affiliated with the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida and is funded jointly with the Fathers' Table Foundation.

Recreation Programs
The specific goal of Restore Orlando Recreational components is as follows: We are to “infuse” the gospel of Jesus Christ in all facets of this program. The tenets that the Lord has given us are deeply embedded in the very core of the Sports/Recreation piece of the program. This without question separates Restore Orlando’s activities from that of the secular after school programs. Our primary concerns are to: seek Godly character, love, respect, humility, effort, gratitude, courage, patience, compassion, teamwork, conflict resolution and sportsmanship. “All” activities begin and end with prayer. There are two statements you will constantly hear echoed by the children. “With God all things are possible and Fall down seven, get up eight”.

The recreational piece makes us “unique” in that we teach the history and fundamentals of each individual sport. Our program includes the following: Martial Arts, baseball, basket ball, soccer, football (Flag/Touch) and track/field. At Restore, we seek to strengthen the “mind, body, and spirit”. Individuals that instruct in our program have participated in the very “highest levels of training and competition.” We also track spiritual maturity, academic progress and sports/Martial Arts participation. Each year we reward (4-6) individuals with a trip to NY to engage in fellowship, sight seeing and Karate Training with some of the most senior Karate Masters. Those individuals involved in soccer, basketball, football, and baseball are rewarded by attending either NBA or College games and other events. In closing, the wellness piece is a critical one in the USA. Many children and families are regrettably overweight along with other maladies.

ROK Program
Restore Orlando for Kids (ROK):  The goal of this program is to provide a quality educational and spiritual experience for low income children of

Holden Heights and other underprivileged Inner City Communities.  Children participating in this program will learn about the character of Christ, self esteem enhancement and decision making skills. 

 
With the help of many Pastors, Youth Pastors, volunteers, parents and staff, this program ministers to children in a fun way through puppets, dance, bible trivia, skits and games.  The ROK is a Saturday Heaven for children.
