Get Involved
We take great pride in engaging our community by creating a team-oriented atmosphere in which to do good work. Our mission of providing young people with the tools for life in hopes of promoting positive change both in themselves and within their communities is the foundation we stand on.
“ALL young people have the potential to impact change, and every young person has a right to dream and should be supported in realizing this.”
Get Involved
This is done by creating opportunities, activities and networks that foster exploration of new environments, skills building and openness to learning new things. We also partner with parents, school officials and community resources that make up the foundation of the child.
