HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS
Members participate in a 4-year program of community service, spiritual growth and leadership development. Individual chapters are located in approved geographic areas. Each geographic area is made up of individual chapters. A chapter is comprised of fathers/sons and mothers/daughters with students ages 9-12 grade. Each chapter has its own chapter board led by volunteer parents who are active in the organization. The fathers/sons and mothers/daughters chapters operate independently. Each chapter holds monthly meetings where the parent and the student attend together to learn from meaningful speakers. Each grade level also has a mentor of whom the members meet with after the speaker for discussion and mentorship time. The Chapter holds various monthly service projects in the community and each grade level has a different area of service on which they focus each year. Over the four year program, the members serve in a multitude of ways and with a variety of organizations in the community. RTwelve is a certified organization for the President’s Volunteer Service Award.

This intentional time together fosters deep conversation, connection, accountability and fellowship with like-minded parents and students.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Parent Members also take on various leadership roles within the Chapter.
