Purpose
To serve the community by assisting children between the ages of 6-18 years old in becoming productive members of society by instilling positive Spiritual, Cultural, Educational, Vocational and Social values.
We do this by fulfilling the following functions:
Mentoring : Provide one-on-one mentoring relationships for children and youth ages 6-18 from primarily single-parent households.
Educational : Promote academic excellence and provide direction in career planning. ( Each child is "Paired" with a tutor if needed. )
College Bound : Shortly after ... a college fund is started for each child. We match him/her with a sponsor who commits to investing into the life of a child with a minimum of $25 per month. This allows children to have more choices after High School then the usual three: Community College, Military or "Get a Job!!!".
Critical Living : Weekly classes that teach essential laws that promote successful living skills. Children are required to attend weekly meetings in which the following 15 courses will be taught:
-
Self Confidence

Initiative & Leadership
