HITS
“Building Bold Youth with Honor, Integrity, Tenacity, and Sacrifice.”
Sponsor a student
Your sponsorship isn’t just a donation — it’s an investment in a young life. By sponsoring a student in the HITS Program, you’re helping provide mentorship, Christ-centered teaching, and a safe place where at-risk youth can discover their worth, develop strong character, and walk in purpose.
Volunteer as a mentor
When you volunteer with the HITS Program, you step into the life of a young person who needs hope, guidance, and someone who truly cares. Whether you’re mentoring, helping with sessions, or simply showing up consistently, your presence speaks volumes.
Bring HITS to your school or church
Want to make a lasting impact on the youth in your community? The HITS Program is ready to partner with your school, church, or organization to bring a powerful, Christ-centered curriculum that builds character and transforms lives.
Join us in Making a Difference
At Restoring San Diego, we believe that true transformation begins at the heart. That’s why we developed the HITS Program — a Christ-centered, character-building curriculum designed to equip at-risk youth with the tools they need to rise above their circumstances and walk boldly into their God-given purpose.
HITS stands for Honor, Integrity, Tenacity, and Sacrifice — four core pillars that form the foundation of our program. Each principle is rooted in biblical truth and brought to life through interactive lessons, mentorship, storytelling, and hands-on application.
🔹 H – Honor
We begin by teaching the importance of honor — honoring God, honoring your family, and respecting those placed in authority such as teachers, coaches, and community leaders. Many youth today are raised in environments where honor is misunderstood or missing altogether. Through scripture, role-playing, and real-life scenarios, we help youth rediscover what it means to live a life that honors God and others.
Key lessons include:
Honoring your parents (Ephesians 6:1–3)
Respecting teachers and school authority
Valuing your own worth as a child of God
🔹 I – Integrity
Integrity is about doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. We challenge youth to reflect on their actions and attitudes, helping them understand that their choices matter — not just to others, but to God.
We walk with them through the consequences of dishonesty and the power of confession, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust. By grounding this value in biblical teachings, they begin to see that integrity isn’t weakness — it’s strength.
Key lessons include:
Living without double standards (Proverbs 11:3)
Being honest in words and actions
The cost and reward of truthfulness
🔹 T – Tenacity
Life is full of setbacks — especially for youth facing adversity. But tenacity teaches them to never give up, to persevere even when the odds are against them. We show them how Jesus, the apostles, and others in scripture endured hardship with faith and determination.
Through personal stories of struggle and resilience from our team — many of whom have lived the very lives our students are trying to escape — we model what it looks like to push forward in the face of opposition.
Key lessons include:
The value of perseverance (James 1:12)
Overcoming failure with faith
Building a mindset that doesn’t quit
🔹 S – Sacrifice
The final pillar of our program points to the greatest example of love the world has ever known — the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We teach youth about the power of sacrificial love: putting others before yourself, giving up destructive habits, and living for something greater than your own desires.
We help them see that true freedom often comes through sacrifice — and that God has already paid the highest price for their redemption.
Key lessons include:
Understanding the cross (John 15:13)
What it means to live sacrificially
Serving others with humility and love
