Rights of Passage

Becoming Godly Men
Destined to Thrive!

Compassionate Justice is recruiting Christian male volunteers for the Rights of Passage (ROPs) ministry. The ultimate goal of ROPs is for the student members to “Become Godly Men Destined to Thrive!”

This will be accomplished as we create a safe environment which encourages the development of healthy relationships while providing a variety of support including homework assistance, life skills training, Bible study, prayer and worship. In addition, snacks, dinner, and fun activities are a vital part of ROPs life together.

Mentors to build relationships and just hangout
Life Skills facilitators on a variety of topics
Tutors in reading, math, science, etc. for High School age young men
Bible study leaders
Worship leaders
Meal volunteers to make and serve the member’s dinner

Compassion Outreach Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer opportunities are available for both skilled and unskilled individuals. Most of the outreaches are “family friendly”. And we invite parents to involve their children and students as they exemplify how to “love their neighbor”! Everyone works at their own pace with the goals to:

• Glorify God
• Demonstrate our love for the community
• Develop high quality relationships with co-workers and community residents
• Enjoy serving together
• Work to accomplish the project priorities

When: Second Saturday each month from 8:45 am to 1:00 pm (lunch included)

Every month on the second Saturday, CJ organizes outreaches in Avondale to serve individuals and families as well as some institutions (i.e. schools, churches, public spaces). The outreaches include projects such as house maintenance (i.e. painting, etc.) and yard maintenance (i.e. pruning, weeding, mulching, etc.). We collaborate with a number of churches from the community as well as civic organizations. Our goal is to help carry the burdens of individuals and families which are too heavy for them to carry on their own (Galatians 6:2)!

Interested in helping to relieve other’s burdens?

We Promote a Christ Centered World View!

Compassionate Justice and our partners are guided by Biblical truth. We incorporate Bible stories, prayer, and spiritual discussions within all of our programs. We hope each participant will experience God's amazing love and grow closer to Jesus during their experience!
