The ROPE program is designed for churches, community organizations and social service agencies to provide no cost mentoring to mentees and their families. The ROPE objective is to assist mentees with defining what a man or woman of God should be using scripture in seven spiritual leadership categories. Development of high self-esteem, independent, mature, critical and morally responsible thinking is at the core of this objective. The mentorship and facilitation is led by church mentors, community members, leaders and professionals using a talking circle format allowing learning through interpersonal sharing of ideas without lecturing or proselytizing. The biblical principles and curriculum of ROPE are covered in seven leadership categories as a foundation for spiritual maturity: I. God II. Wisdom III. Service IV. Leadership V. Manhood & Womanhood VI. Health VII. Wealth During the six-month period, parents are instructed on how to provide support for the mentee over their adolescent development. ROPE provides Africentric based learning and history. Mentees and parents or guardians are asked to design a Kente Cloth choosing Andinkra symbols with spiritual meaning and values in colors. The Kente Cloth will be presented to the mentee during the ROPE graduation ceremony. Upon completion of the ROPE, the church will convene a ROPE Ceremony to symbolize transition into spiritual manhood/womanhood for the mentees. The congregation acknowledges and verbally accepts them as such. The ROPE matriculation ceremony is of high honor for the mentee and their family and extended family. https://ropementorship.org/rope-book daily 0.75 2020-11-30 https://ropementorship.org/new-page daily 0.75 2021-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4ef78eccc5c5504455e7b9/1628614652067-NS1UGQB68556Q9ITUOE9/ROPE+Kente+Cloths+18.jpg ROPE Vision & Mission - ROPE VISION My impassioned vision and daily prayer is that African American youth learn pride and self-esteem by the legacy and sacrifice of our ancestors before them, that our youth will become leaders to overcome the detriments of systemic racism that contribute to violence and senseless shootings that are destroying Black bodies and the promise of our future. Thank you Lord for the vision and eyes to see. ROPE MISSION STATEMENT To provide supportive faith-based mentorship for youth ages 13 to 18 years of age without proselytizing to aid in them becoming responsible adults who exhibit leadership, sound judgement, and a moral compass rooted in a legacy of culture, tradition, and Christian values. https://ropementorship.org/store daily 0.75 2020-11-30 https://ropementorship.org/store/p/rope monthly 0.5 2020-12-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4ef78eccc5c5504455e7b9/1606758615630-IZJ0UGP6CZIN1P08DX90/Rope+Web+Book.jpg Rope Store - Rope Book
