Mission Statement
Our Mission
Gear Up Now Inc. is dedicated to empowering children from 6 years of age through young adulthood, particularly those from underserved and under-resourced communities. We provide charitable and educational programs that promote learning, personal development, mentorship, community engagement, and long-term readiness for further education and future careers.
Our work is guided by biblical principles and the teachings and example of Jesus Christ. Through Biblical Life Foundations, children and young adults are encouraged to develop faith, love, honesty, compassion, forgiveness, courage, responsibility, service, respect for others, and strong moral character.
We carry out our mission through youth-development programs, academic support, Bible reading, prayer, mentorship, career exposure, recreational and educational activities, and meaningful community experiences.
