THE ACTIVE HAND Ministry believes the key to solving community issues is by preparing our youth as future leaders and forming grassroots organizations that connect individuals, organizations, municipalities and law makers with the impoverished needs of the community. If we didn't train our youth as future leaders and put them in strategic positions of leadership, poor people would remain in their spiritual, social and economical conditions. THE ACTIVE HAND Ministry realizes that poor and marginalized people in the Greater Richmond area, the Tri-City area and surrounding counties can effect change in their conditions if they invest in their youth through structured leadership programs and by forming grassroots agencies that will demand those changes in their communities.
