Our Mission
To inspire and enable
all young people, especially those from
disadvantaged circumstances,
to realize their full potential as
productive, responsible and caring citizens.
In every community, there are hundreds of boys and girls who are left to
find their own recreation and companionship in the streets or who, in increasing numbers, spend many hours at home with no adult care and supervision. These youngsters often form groups or gangs, becoming involved with the wrong "leaders," and eventually find themselves in
serious trouble.
The number of young people living in underserved circumstances
continues to grow. National statistics reveal an alarming increase
in the number of multi-faceted problems which negatively impact these
girls and boys and their families
Young people, especially those at greatest risk, need responsible adult guidance. They need to know that someone cares about them and that there are concerned and capable adults to whom they can turn.
