Check out our CEO/Founder Yvette S. Thompson on the cover of Cleveland Lifestyle Magazine!! This month is the 4 years celebration of her providing services to the youth in the Akron community.

Seeing the growth and accomplishments of the young women is a true blessing. Seeds were planted and most of them took the advice that were given at Fadia Young Women’s Program Inc, now they have blossomed into adulthood.

North Ridgeville

By Jon Wysochanski

With a multitude of problems that could potentially send them down the wrong path, youth face a difficult world today. But a new face in North Ridgeville hopes to intervene in the lives of local kids and help them to make the right choices.

The Rev. Lisa Arledge, a Lutheran minister from Akron, has been involved with youth outreach for 28 years and is bringing her ministry to North Ridgeville.

At St. John/St.Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church in Akron, Arledge works as a ministries coordinator and also for Oasis Outreach Opportunity Inc., a nonprofit program helping inner-city youth. She was officially ordained as a Lutheran minister in 2009.

Arledge said St. John/St. Paul, which consisted of an aging white congregation, decided to reach out to area youth in 2006. Now the congregation has a core group of more than 50 kids who remain in Akron as a part of Oasis. Both the youth and the older populations have strengthened their faiths through one another, Arledge said.
