Our program is based on the following:
- The idea that actively providing resources for the emotional, mental, and spiritual healing will be effective at assisting such youth in developing discipline, commitment, self-respect, and responsibility
- The proposition that the provision of role models and templates for engaging education and pursuing higher levels of educational attainment can improve the likelihoods that students will achieve in secondary education and aim toward post-secondary education
- The idea that development of an appreciation for work in and for the community will lead to a long-term positive orientation towards commitment to that community and to a propensity for positive contributions towards it.
