Teens Opposing Poverty

Empowering Youth for a Lifetime of Service

Helping Young People Turn Compassion Into Action

Every day, millions of people in the United States struggle to survive. Many have no place to call home. Others must choose between food, shelter and medicine.Often the struggle is dehumanizing and breeds hopelessness.

Meanwhile, a generation of young people filled with compassion and a powerful sense of justice are hungry for an opportunity to make a difference in their world.

They don’t want to wait until they become “adults” to have an impact on others—and they don’t need to.

Through TOP, the lives of youth and the people they serve are forever changed. TOP is about so much more than its programs. Youth and the people they serve make real connections and form real relationships. Unlikely friendships are formed, hearts are changed, and the love of Christ is shared in a real and powerful way.
