Our Mission:
The Troubled Movement, Inc. is a Houston-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to creating spiritual and educational programs, events, and activities for teens and young adults around the world. We also focus on building victims of depression, abuse, financial hardship, loss, and more into survivors who will ultimately turn their pain into purpose.
Our Programs:
Young Men’s Program - The Marvelous Men Moving Forward program is dedicated to teen boys and young men ages 13-25. This program was designed specifically for "our guys". In 2014, males ages 15 to 19 were three times more likely to commit suicide, six times more likely to be victims of homicide, and eight times more likely to be involved in a firearm-related death than were females the same age.
We want to show our young men that they are supported by The Troubled Movement as well as the community. We host events to help them share their talents, educate them on career plans, as well as encouraging them to grow into talented, successful men. "You don't have to be another statistic in this society. Be the brave, smart man God intended you to be," says Founder Maranda Evans.
Project Excellence – Project Excellence is an education program created for students from middle school to college. We host educational workshops, tutoring, and events that raise money for scholarships, school supplies, and prom/graduation sponsorships.
Teen Talk - This program is dedicated to both men and women ages 13-19 who are struggling with self-love, relationships (parental included), school, and friendships. We mentor our teens one-on-one as well as in a group to provide answers to their many questions on growth, spirituality, and personality.
Young Women of Power – This program is dedicated to women ages 20-25 that are in college, starting their career, or simply “stuck” on what to do next. We want to encourage them to find their God-given purpose and help with ending the “student life” stage and maturing into a successful adult.
Heroes & Survivors – This program caters towards victims of sexual abuse, domestic violence, and mental illness. We create strong survivors out of past tragedies by allowing them to feel comfortable and safe by sharing our stories, talking with God, and moving forward. We also support families in need of rebuilding and financial support.
