Welcome to
Pivotal Directions
An exclusive service-learning, leadership experience for teenagers
- A common value every corner of our society shares is service.
- Every group within the human family benefits from leadership.
- Every decision a leader makes is influenced by the quality of their character.
Pivotal Directions students form an alliance and
work toward this common vision of leadership, service, character. A Pivotal Directions student is known for
raising the bar of excellence. They are young people committed to learning
about leadership and character, developing themselves, and celebrating the act
of service.
High schools, faith-based organizations and colleges require service hours, but who is managing that process? Who is giving our young people, our future leaders, direction? Who is assisting parents and their teens in the documentation process for future resumes, scholarship and college applications? Pivotal Directions will act as a guide to help your student chart their course.
Pivotal Directions offers a comprehensive, service-learning program for students who are looking for an edge in our competitive world. Let us pick up where other areas of our society leave off.
Our children only know what they have been exposed to. Pivotal Directions expands the knowledge base of life experience. Whether it is the experience gained in hands-on service learning or learning from the diverse life-experience of the Pivotal Directors who walk with you in one of our journeys, you help chart your direction.
Each of us, if asked, could chart "pivotal moments" along our lifeline that helped form who we are. Some we control and some we do not. Pivotal Directions puts the control into your hands to intentionally create an experience, a "pivotal moment" that allows character to develop through the act of leadership and service. The control piece is whether or not you hear the call to serve and engage in the experience.
On our path in life we are faced with many challenges, many of which take root in our teenage and pre-teen years. Strong character can overcome complacency and strengthen decision-making. Building character, however, does not come naturally. It takes work, commitment, dedication and sacrifice. We must seek opportunities to step out of our comfort zone, to discover what hidden qualities exist as diamonds in the rough. Reaching out to those in need in the act of service can uncover leadership skills, provide perspective on what we have been given, and motivate us to make a difference.
Pivotal Direction's unique program has proven that it can help the individual forge character that will have life-long implications.
I hope you spend some time looking around our website and learn about how your child can set a new standard in his or her life. Your support of our programs is an investment in the future!
Safe Travels!
