Who we are
Mission
Our mission is to equip young people to become leaders who drive holistic transformation in their families and communities—beginning in Washington, D.C., and reaching beyond.
Vision
Our vision is to see a generation of young people empowered by the gospel to lead with purpose, cultivate healthy lives, and create a lasting impact in their communities.
Discipleship
We believe that Christ has called His people to walk with young people through every stage of life. This mission is not ours alone—it must be pursued in partnership with local churches, schools, and community organizations. At RUE, we view mentorship as the divine path to connect with young people and cultivate deep, lasting relationships founded on love, trust, and truth.
Core Values
Discipline
At RUE, discipline is both a word and a way of life. Rooted in the meaning "to teach" and "to learn," discipline shapes how we grow together. We teach students self-control, self-awareness, and self-compassion. This discipline is intentional and shared, modeled by everyone involved—students, mentors, and leaders—as a visible sign of our collective commitment to the mission.
Development
We believe leaders are made, not just born. Through intentional coaching, training, and spiritual guidance, RUE develops student leaders who go on to influence their peers, families, and entire communities—becoming agents of change wherever God sends them.
