角聲家庭中心為9-12年級精心打做的飛躍計劃暑期班，一個揉合領袖訓練、軟實力，及義工服務為一身的課程，隨著9月的開始，已圓滿結束。在這一個月的課程中，學員們究竟有何得著，請細看其中兩位代表的回饋：
Before joining, I often felt like I had to wait for the “right moment” or a larger platform to make a difference. But being a part of a small volunteer program opened my eyes to the quiet power of local, consistent impact. I saw how one act of kindness, one gesture of encouragement, or one moment of leadership could create impact far beyond its origin. I noticed how the other volunteers lit up when they felt included and trusted with responsibility. This program didn’t just inspire me, it shifted something in me. It taught me that leadership is not about authority or recognition, but about stepping into small moments with intention. I want to be able to spread this way of uplifting the people around me to all those in my life. Even if the impact is on an individual level, I still believe that making an impact on a single person is worthy of recognition in itself.
參加這個計劃之前，我常常覺得自己必須等到「正確的時機」或擁有更大的平台，才能真正產生影響。但這個志工計劃，讓我看見了地方性、持續性的影響所蘊含的力量。我看到一個善意的舉動、一個帶著鼓勵的手勢、或是一個領導的時刻，都能產生深遠的影響。我注意到，當其他志工感受到被接納與被信任的時候，他們就會展現出光芒。這個計劃不僅啟發了我，更改變了我。它讓我明白到，領袖材能跟權威或認可沒有任何關係，而是在細微的事上，願意踏出一步。我希望能夠把這種激勵他人的方式，傳遞給生命中每一個人。即使影響的只是個別的人，我仍然相信，對一個人產生正面影響，本身就一件非常有價值的事。(Ian Wong)
The program inspired me to mobilize those around me by sharing what I’ve learned and encouraging them to make a positive impact. With my family, I took the initiative to show them what a balanced, healthy meal should include — such as dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and proteins — so they could make more informed choices about their health. I was also motivated to influence my friends to help others in need. Visiting Poverty Encounter and Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles was an eye-opening experience. It was shocking to witness the harsh living conditions of people who share the same world as us. Many are trapped in a cycle of poverty, unable to change their situation — just as we learned in Poverty Encounter. Since then, my friends and I have made an effort to support those less fortunate. Whenever we encounter someone in need, we try to offer food or water as a small act of kindness.
這個計劃啟發了我，讓我開始主動分享我所學的內容，並鼓勵身邊的人一起產生正面的影響。對我的家人，我主動介紹什麼是均衡健康的飲食，包括乳製品、蔬菜、水果、穀物和蛋白質，幫助他們做出更有意識的健康選擇。
這個計劃也激勵我去影響我的朋友們，一起幫助有需要的人。我參觀了「貧困體驗 (Poverty Encounter)」以及洛杉磯市中心的貧民區Skid Row，這段經歷讓我大開眼界。親眼看到那些與我們生活在同一個世界的人，卻處於如此艱困的生活環境，讓我感到震驚。許多人因為被困在貧窮的惡性循環中，難以改變自己的處境——這正是我們在「貧困體驗」中學到的現實。之後，我的朋友和我開始努力實踐小小的善行。如果在路上遇到需要幫助的人，我們會盡力買一些食物或飲用水送給他們，為他們帶來一點溫暖。(Hao Quan Liao)
為了鼓勵青少年在成長中的各個層面，都能精益求精，家庭中心在今年加入了美國國會獎 (The Congressional Award)！此獎項為美國國會頒發給13歲半至24歲年青人的最高榮譽。這是一項自願、非競爭性的計劃，旨在表彰年輕人在志願公共服務、個人成長、體能鍛鍊，以及探索精神這四個領域中，所展示出來的主動性、貢獻和個人發展。
