Read What Others Are Saying About Alpha Academy

We have received numerous accolades from students, parents, and other agencies. Perhaps the most rewarding are letters like these:

From grateful parents:

“I can honestly say that we have seen a remarkable young man begin to take shape from the confused and misdirected boy who first entered the program…We enrolled [him] in Alpha in an effort to instill a positive sense of identity, a realistic sense of his own capabilities, and a plan of how to accomplish responsible life goals. We can quite honestly say that Alpha has exceeded our expectation in all of these areas…We firmly believe that it would not be an overstatement to say that Alpha Academy has saved our son’s life, his heart, and his soul.”

“If you are a parent with a prodigal, do not give up hope. Alpha is there for him and for you … the lessons [our son] learned at Alpha he is still unpacking. I thank you all…I know that it was all of you, that are the reason our son is where he is today. We have been blessed beyond measure by this ministry.”

“How do you thank someone who has helped you save the life of your son and has continued to be involved? When we look at who he was when we brought him to Alpha and what he is now, we are impressed…The people at Alpha are good people and I thank God that they were there…I do not even want to think about what may have happened to [our son] if Alpha had not been there.”

From a former student:

“Alpha Academy has provided me with something that I don’t think I could have found anywhere else. Everybody there immediately opened their arms to me. Through them God brought me to a place where I was able to hear him. Most importantly they really helped me to establish who I am. Through my experiences and interactions with the people there a man stepped from the smoldering rubble of the person that I was. I only wish that there were more people who could share this program with me. I do not believe that there is a single person who could not benefit from Alpha Academy. I hope that the leaders of tomorrow will be some of Alpha’s alumni.”

From an educator:

“I am writing to let you know encouraged I am by Alpha Academy…I have been able to witness the fruits of your efforts, as these young men begin turning their lives around by developing their faith and life principles…I am extremely thankful for the Alpha Academy, as without programs like yours, more young men will be destined to a life of despair, unemployment, crime and fractured family units.”

From Law Enforcement:

“Almost every morning students ask me, “Are we going to Alpha today?” They ask not because they love working in the fields in the hot sun, but because they want to work with all of you. Our students have many struggles in their lives, and they do not trust easily. They have given you their trust, and have clearly responded to your mentoring.”
