This is where we match godly men and women with 4th or 5th grade students to make a commitment to walk alongside them, building a long term relationship that is mutually transforming. Our mentors typically spend an average of 5 hours a month with their student. We ask our mentors to meet at least two times a month with the student in a variety of contexts. Mentoring takes place everywhere and most times is done simply by getting to know one another. Currently there are 120 kids in small group mentoring and 250 youth in our Life-on-Life mentoring. 3097 Aspire Club is an after school program designated to reach the youth in public schools who are waiting for a mentor. Every Thursday for an hour we engage with the children in fun activities, read through various resources, build relationships as well as provide a free snack. This is a time where kids have shared some of the hardships they are currently facing and our volunteers do an excellent job encouraging and loving on the children. We have had over 500 students involved in Aspire Club in the last 6 years, many of whom we have provided a mentor to walk alongside of in life on life. We partner with the Fellows Ministry at Briarwood Presbyterian Church who provide 12 recent college graduates to come and invest in the lives of the young people. We also have many other church volunteers come and provide care and compassion for the youth. This is a time where people can explore whether Aspire is a good fit for them. Built for the Wild a ministry that provides camps and conferences for teenagers around Alabama. Through camps and conferences, we present the gospel in a dynamic way that allows the listener to connect and clearly hear about the love of God. We bring a fresh expression of Jesus to this generation, with a voice and media that resonate with youth culture. Were not interested in making the Built Wild known; we want the name of Jesus to be known. Since Built Wilds founding, we have linked arms with many ministries and churches around the south to fuel evangelistic movements. Whether we are hosting a big outreach event or providing the evangelistic voice at another organizations event, the common goal of everything we do is to share the hope of Jesus. 13454 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 true 7 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 9 8 false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false true false false AL X Jason Williams 2052352355 2081 Columbiana Road Birmingham AL 35216 Jim Cavale Vice President & Board Chairm 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Tom Traylor Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matthew Wrenn Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jason Williams President & Director 60.00 0.00 X X 85532 0 0 Nick Thornton Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Scott McGlaun Treasurer and Director 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Gene Darden Secretary & Director 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Byron Hatch Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tonya Allen Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica Leslie Employee 40.00 0.00 X 45000 0 0 Blakely Barley Employee 40.00 0.00 X 26500 0 0 Sam Sharples Staff 40.00 0.00 X 24000 0 0 181032 0 0 0 false false false 48148 242379 290527 48148 290527 0 0 0 181032 181032 16300 16300 13183 13183 30 30 2171 2171 5000 5000 818 818 9600 9600 5788 5788 Special Events 23128 23128 Books & Materials 6114 6114 Monthly Gatherings 4243 4243 Promo Events 9981 9981 12045 3097 4540 4408 289433 13454 237644 38335 92735 71827 4000 26002 96735 97829 0 0 X 96735 97829 96735 97829 96735 97829 1094 0 X false false false X 157455 213475 241027 262142 290527 1164626 157455 213475 241027 262142 290527 1164626 110835 1053791 1164626 0.90480 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Fundraisers 48148 48148 48148 48148 48148 Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 Prior to completion of this 990, a draft was reviewed in detail by Jason Williams, President & Director.
