simultaneously addresses several core issues facing low-income communities: education,

housing, jobs, and leadership development. It uniquely addresses the status of

unemployed young men and women who have dropped out of school and have no apparent

path to a productive future. It allows them to simultaneously serve their communities

and build their own future.

It is an alternative school, in which participants spend 50 percent of their program

time pursuing academic goals, which may include vocational and remedial education,

study toward a high school diploma or general equivalency diploma, and preparation

for higher education.

It is a leadership development program, in which young people share in the governance

of their own program and participate actively in community affairs, learning the

values and the lifelong commitment needed by effective and ethical community leaders

It is a long-term mini-community, in which young people make new friends committed

to a positive lifestyle, may pursue cultural and recreational activities together, and

can continue to participate through follow-up services and a graduates program
