Our partnership with Ivy Baptist Church is a powerful example of what’s possible when faith-based organizations and local government work together toward a common goal. Ivy Baptist has played a key role in strengthening community outreach, empowering youth, and promoting social justice in Newport News. Their leadership and support have been essential to the success of our Youth T.H.R.I.V.E. initiative, especially through the impactful Friday Night Nets program.
