| The
Organization |
Teens
With a Purpose originated in 1996. Their mission
then was to provide HIV & STD prevention services
to teens considered at risk for contracting HIV/AIDS.
It began as a ministry funded through the faith
initiative grants awarded to The Basilica Of St.
Mary of The Immaculate Conception’s HIV/AIDS
Ministry from 1996 – 2006 by Virginia Department
of Health. The coordinator and originator for
the youth ministry Teens With a Purpose was Deirdre
A. Love, the founder and current Executive Director
for TWP – The Youth Movement.
Over the next 10 years the ministry grew. The
number of teens participating in their program
from the community had exponential growth. In
2007 Teens With a Purpose became a community based
organization. They incorporated in 2008 and currently
operate as Teens With a Purpose (TWP) –
The Youth Movement, a community based, Youth Development,
not for profit organization independent of any
church yet still serving all faith communities
and all of greater Hampton Roads. They have created
a community within our organization that supports
youth so they can grow up into competent, healthy
people and develop to their fullest potential. |
