Our mission is to empower teens to become world changers through eliminating the barriers stacked up against them by providing a positive family environment with mentors that encourage all to discover their purpose and who help teens stack up tools to achieve excellence. Stacks long term desire is to be a large 24 hour youth center that offers a wide variety of activities for youth. Currently Stacks holds regular events and activities at our Youth Center located at the 305 North Scott, Belton Mo. Our Vision is to Empower Teens to Excellence. We plan to do this through our mentors working one on one with students and taking them through a program that we our developing called Stacks.
