The youth will be engaged in community service and mentorship that is designed to cultivate a positive disposition towards leadership and the idea that they are in a unique position to be leaders. It is their decision-making and leadership of their own destinies that can lead to positive outcomes for themselves, their families, and their communities.
1. One weekend once a month is set aside for a community service:
- Bagging Weekend Meals at Completely Kids.
- Mentoring elementary and middle school girls through literacy.
- Field trips that could include, but is not limited to, visitation of important community historical and cultural sites, attendance at lectures and/or presentations by important community elders and dignitaries, co-curricular events presented by sponsoring organizations and donors, and activities to engage the youth in aiding and assisting in community projects.
2. Parents and guardians will be explicitly engaged in various activities associated with the program with the goal of developing a culture of interaction and mutually reinforcing communication that we hope will succeed the program and lead to constructive relationships between the parties and therefore to cooperation in setting the template for an improvement in clients’ quality of life.
