Jesus said to him: "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
Matthew 22:37-39

What We Do
Leadership Training
Our key strategy is to create and empower small supportive teams of young Haitian adults who learn and work together in an atmosphere designed to produce spiritual, intellectual and emotional maturity.
Curriculum
Our adult curriculum aims to instill proactivity and critical thinking skills, to promote application of Biblical principles to daily life and to teach leadership principles.
Written Curriculum (in Creole)
- Articles for team members to read and respond to
- Short courses with Biblical references and study questions
- Curriculum for the team-run Vacation Bible Schools
- Individualized or small group curriculum for team members
- Annual team training retreat
- Seminars for young adults in the immediate community
Annual large-scale leadership conference for the broader community
See Haiti Share News for announcements of recent or upcoming seminars and conferences.
- E-mails
- Instant Message
- Personal visits
Team Projects
Team members meet together to plan and execute a variety of community projects. Such projects build skills in communication and conflict resolution and promote self-reliance and practical compassion for others. We especially focus on projects that pass on to others the leadership skills and spiritual maturity team members are themselves learning.
Team projects involving teaching
- Saturday classes for neighborhood children
- Vacation Bible School
- Children's Christmas Party
- Street Evangelism
Meeting Urgent Short-term Needs
- Delivering Water Filtration Systems
- Community Food Distributions
- Assistance to individuals in need
Preparation for Self-Sufficiency
One of the major ways in which Haiti Share hopes to promote self-sufficiency is by providing tuition assistance for qualified team members.
We are partnering with Teen Challenge-Haiti to provide a program that will train young Haitians in job skills and thus increase their chances of becoming employable on the open market.
Haiti Share Online Training Center
Our online center makes our resources available to any Haitian with access to the Internet. Our written curriculum is posted here, as well as Internet links to resources such as translation tools, Bible Study tools and so on. Much, but not all, of the information is in Creole or French.
