With diverse expertise and Christ-centered dedication, our leaders bring compassion, wisdom, and strength to every decision. Together, we create a foundation of safety, belonging, and purpose so each young man can grow, heal, and thrive.

  • Julie Tarver is a devoted follower of Christ, passionate child advocate, and dedicated mom to two successful grown sons — plus many “bonus boys” she has loved and mentored along the way. With a heart for youth who need a voice, Julie has spent years serving children and families through roles as a Guardian ad Litem, TBRI® Practitioner, and SAMA® Facilitator, equipping her to support healing through trust-based, trauma-informed care.

    Her calling is to pour into young men, champion their potential, and reflect Christ’s love in every interaction. Whether she’s leading with vision or spending time laughing, learning, and doing life with the boys, Julie’s mission remains the same: to give hope, build character, and help every young man know they are valued, seen, and deeply loved by God.
