“What inspires me most about being at Cumorah Academy is the strong sense of purpose and unity that surrounds everything we do here. It’s a place where everyone strives not only to serve others but also to grow closer to God and become a little better each day. I’m constantly inspired by the love, humility, and dedication I see in the people around me — whether in the way they teach, serve, or simply show kindness in small, meaningful ways.
Being in this environment helps me reflect on my own goals and focus on what truly matters. It reminds me that when we work together with faith and love, we can make a real difference in people’s lives and feel the Lord’s hand guiding us. Cumorah Academy has strengthened my testimony and helped me see how service and unity bring deep joy and purpose.”
— Lorena Lourenço, Portugal
Give Inspiration Through Purpose
Inspiration often begins in quiet, simple moments — a small act of kindness, a teacher’s encouragement, or a friend’s thoughtful gesture. At Cumorah Academy, this isn’t the exception. Inspiration is intentionally built into daily life, shaping the culture and elevating the student experience.
For students like Lorena Lourenço, discovering purpose doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because the environment invites reflection, growth, and connection. Surrounded by young adults from many nations — all striving to become stronger leaders, disciples, and human beings — students begin to feel something greater awakening within them: a desire to grow and to lift others.
This is the mission behind the Giving Hope Campaign: to Give Inspiration by creating opportunities where purpose can take root, flourish, and multiply.
A Community That Breaths Unity
Walk across campus on any weekday and you’ll see students collaborating on projects, studying together, or preparing service activities. Conversations flow between cultures and languages, yet a deep sense of unity fills every space. Cumorah Academy’s diversity doesn’t divide students — it strengthens them.
Here, leadership is not defined by individual achievement. It grows from:
- Collaboration
- Compassion
- Shared purpose
- Faith-driven effort
Whether students are presenting business pitches, practicing English, planning devotionals, or participating in workshops, everyone is cheering for one another. This unity becomes a powerful source of motivation and helps Cumorah Academy continue to Give Inspiration to those still discovering their personal mission.
Small Acts of Service, Big Waves of Impact
At Cumorah Academy, service is not a single event — it’s a lifestyle. Students volunteer weekly, assist visiting teachers, support peers, and organize community initiatives.
Often, it’s the smallest gestures that create the deepest impact: holding a door, offering a listening ear, helping someone study, or cleaning shared spaces without being asked.
These everyday expressions of humility and love are what Lorena describes as transformational. Through service, students experience a profound truth: when we lift others, we rise too. This mindset reflects the heart of the Giving Hope Campaign’s goal to Give Inspiration through action.
Drawing Closer to God in Daily Living
Faith is lived daily at Cumorah Academy. Students participate in devotionals, institute classes, and spiritual discussions that invite reflection and strengthen testimony.
Some arrive searching for answers, others come with strong convictions — but all leave with deeper faith shaped by shared worship and Christlike examples.
Here, students learn that growth is not only academic or professional; it is spiritual. In a fast-paced world, Cumorah Academy provides sacred space to pause, breathe, and remember what truly matters. This spiritual environment continues to Give Inspiration to everyone who walks through its doors.
Becoming a Little Better Every Day
Transformation at Cumorah Academy doesn’t happen overnight. It happens gradually, through consistent habits and intentional effort: studying early, communicating with empathy, choosing kindness, and practicing discipline.
Weekly mentorship sessions help students:
- Set meaningful goals
- Overcome fears
- Lead with integrity
- Build strong habits
- Develop emotional intelligence
Mentors provide a safe space to be honest, reflect, and receive guidance from someone who genuinely cares. Many students look back at the end of their semester and barely recognize who they were when they arrived. That kind of growth is what allows Cumorah Academy to continually Give Inspiration to the rising generation.
Joy Through Unity and Service
One of the most beautiful lessons Cumorah Academy teaches is that true joy comes from giving, not receiving.
Through service projects and teaching in neighboring communities, students discover that community is more than a group of people — it’s a feeling of belonging, a network of support, and a shared sense of purpose.
When young adults unite faith, love, and service, they don’t just succeed individually — they create joy that spreads far beyond campus.
Why Giving Inspiration Matters
For many students, attending Cumorah Academy would not be possible without scholarships. Donors make it possible for young adults to access experiences that:
- Strengthen testimonies
- Build leadership capacity
- Foster lifelong friendships
- Ignite a desire to serve
When donors give, they do more than support education — they Give Inspiration that travels across borders, languages, and communities. Students return home ready to uplift others, carrying the light they found at Cumorah Academy into their families, schools, workplaces, and ministries.
Your generosity becomes part of every act of service, every presentation, and every moment of faith these young adults share.
