I was once considered an “at-risk youth.” Foster care. Addiction. Abandonment. Abuse. Silence.
No one ever told me I could change the narrative, and rewrite the script for my life, so I learned how to survive it instead.
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION...
It’s a calling, for the ones the world overlooks. You know the kind of kid we’re talking about. Maybe they live in your home. Maybe they sit in your classroom.
Maybe they’re your niece, your mentee, your student, or your child. They're not bad. They’re burdened. Smart, gifted, capable, but quiet. Withdrawn.
Trying to hold it together while no one sees what’s falling apart underneath.
They smile. But something’s off. They’re surrounded, yet isolated. Performing, but not present. Scrolling endlessly because silence feels safer than speaking.
And the world?
The world will call them a problem. A statistic. A disappointment. A phase.
But we don’t believe that here.
And if you’re reading this… neither do you.

Under labels.
Under expectations.
Under pain they were never meant to carry alone.
What they need is not more pressure, punishment, or performance.
They need is a place to REBUILD.
A place to lay their pain down and pick up purpose.
A place to shed the mask and meet themselves again.
A place to be rooted in truth, identity, community, and God.
No healing happens without truth.
No purpose without identity.
And no identity without faith.
If you’re a parent, a mentor, a youth leader, and your gut says something’s off, you’re right.
You’ve seen the detachment. The subtle rebellion. The people-pleasing. The anger that comes out of nowhere. The anxiety that won’t go away. And the truth is, they’re not “just going through a phase.”
They’re searching.
And the enemy is trying to get there first.
Through comparison.
Through addiction.
Through numbness.
Through silence.
But God has other plans.
And this...this is where the rebuilding begins.
We’re not here to rescue or fix anyone. We’re here to walk beside them as they rise. Through truth-telling. Through spiritual healing. Through community. Through faith-based identity work that helps them finally see who they are, and who they’ve always been.
At Raising Hope, we believe:
Faith is the foundation
Identity is the anchor
Leadership starts from within
And no one is too far gone to REBUILD
What will happen if we don’t reach them in time?
How do I help when they won’t open up?
Is there still hope?
Yes.
This is it.
This is your answer.
This is the movement where the silent get seen.
Where shame gets broken.
And where the next generation remembers who they are in God, and for good.
This is Raising Hope.
Welcome to the REBUILD Movement.
Because when a young person begins to REBUILD everything changes.
Their confidence. Their choices. Their faith. Their future.
Here’s how we walk with them:
A safe, low cost faith-rooted community for youth ages 16–26 to explore who they are beneath the mask.
They’ll find monthly challenges, live conversations, and identity tools designed to help them reconnect to themselves and to God in a way that feels real, not forced.
A place to belong. A space to grow.
A movement that meets them where they are.
12-Week Signature Program
This isn’t your ordinary program, it’s a turning point.
Through identity healing, truth-telling, and spiritual leadership, youth are guided through a transformational journey to REBUILD from the inside out with faith at the center.
This is where the silence breaks. Where shame lifts. Where bold, spirit-led leaders rise.
Whether it’s in a school, church, university, or event space, we bring the message that transforms.
Through powerful storytelling, faith-centered identity work, and real connection, Alexis M Carpenter delivers custom workshops and keynotes that create breakthrough moments for youth and those who lead them.
Because when the truth is spoken, healing begins.
The Truth Telling Experience (healing + self-expression)
The SHIFT (leadership 101 and self-leadership)
Breakthrough In The Brokenness (God moves in the mess)
The glory of God radiated through her at the 2025 Live BOLD Retreat, and her testimony was incredibly powerful. It was a blessing to witness how God takes the beautifully broken and brings restful restoration. Truly inspiring!
-April Foster
When Alexis shared about how she Navigated spaces were marginalized voices were seldom heard, gave me hope and encouragement that wherever I am, I can show up in joy and peace, because Christ is with me. I'd highly recommend anyone who is looking for someone who can speak to belonging and persevering to book Alexis, you won't be disappointed.
-Jori O'Neale M.S.Ed
As a speaker and coach, she empowers us to explore our truest selves and chase our passions with fearless determination. So inspiring!

Uncover the truth beneath who you’ve been pretending to be.
We all wear masks especially when survival demands it.
This quick quiz helps you identify the emotional or identity-based mask you’ve been wearing to stay safe, fit in, or stay silent.
But that mask? It’s not who you are. It’s who you thought you had to be.
Let’s decode it, and begin your rebuild.
What You’ll Learn:
- The name and style of your specific mask (The Chameleon, The Protector, The Performer, etc.)
- How it shows up in your thoughts, relationships, and goals
- What your mask may be protecting you from
- First steps to release the mask and reconnect with your real story
