"Shaping Tomorrow’s Leaders, One Act of Service at a Time."
Diamonds & Studs is a co-ed teen program rooted in service and fundraising for Arkansas high school students. Participants will be required to meet specific program guidelines, with scholarships awarded to those who exceed the requirements and demonstrate exceptional commitment.
Diamonds & Studs inspires 11th and 12th-grade girls and boys to grow as leaders who are dedicated to making a difference. Through educational programs, community service, volunteer opportunities, and fundraising, we equip teens to support and uplift the residents of Home for Healing. By fostering empathy, integrity, and a strong sense of purpose, Diamonds & Studs empowers young people to positively impact their communities and build a foundation of service for life.
The program will offer a special event in Spring of 2026 to celebrate the accomplishments of the 2025-2026 class.
