Mission Statement

We partner with parents/guardians, volunteers and others in the community and hold ourselves accountable for each child in our program achieving:

  • Higher Aspirations, greater confidence and better relationships
  • Avoidance of risky behaviors
  • Educational success

  • Able to get along better with their families
  • 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs
