Building the Next Generation of Greatness
Teen Universe
A youth-focused nonprofit initiative envisioned as a safe, supportive, faith-centred environment where young people can learn, grow, discover their purpose, develop their talents and prepare for their future.
Every young person deserves to know that their life has value, their gifts have purpose, and their future is worth investing in.
More Than a Youth Program
Teen Universe is being built as a place where young people can belong — a place for academic support, encouragement, mentorship, creativity, sports, wellness, leadership, friendship and hope.
Four Pillars
Faith at the Foundation
Founded on Christian principles of faith, love, integrity, compassion, service, responsibility and respect. Faith provides the foundation; purpose gives direction.
Education Opens Doors
Planned resources include tutoring, study support, educational enrichment, career exploration, college and workforce preparation, financial literacy, technology education and practical life skills.
Mentorship That Matters
Connecting participants with mentors, educators, coaches, professionals, community leaders and role models who provide encouragement, accountability, guidance and practical wisdom.
The Whole Person
Academic achievement, counselling and wellness support, sports and recreation, physical fitness, leadership, citizenship, character development, healthy decision-making, creativity and career preparation.
Creativity, Sports and Career Pathways
Young people may discover their gifts through many doors. Connections to the larger Touch of Heaven ecosystem and the Dream Maker Tour can provide real-world exposure, career exploration and mentorship.
Funded in Part by the Tour
Every Ticket Does Something
A portion of Dream Maker Tour proceeds goes to Teen Universe, supporting events and programmes that help young people develop their gifts and grow into leaders.
Stronger Youth. Stronger Communities.
Teen Universe envisions a flagship North Carolina location with future expansion into additional communities. Developing young people strengthens families, schools, neighbourhoods, workplaces and future generations.
