Agape Teen Leaders (ATL) is a semester-long fundraising program that raises awareness for Agape’s mission and equips future community leaders with effective fundraising skills. The cohort of highly motivated high school students engages with the Agape community through monthly service-learning meetings and commits to raising at least $1,500 during the semester to support Agape’s after-school programming. In 2025, Agape started a new segment of the program allowing for boarding school students to participate as teen leads. Participants who complete the program commit to serving 10+ community service hours for Agape’s programs and events are eligible for ATL awards.
