OUR CORE VALUES

We take pride in our achievements and by the rules we live by

We identify, fully consider, and always advance the interests of youth to ensure they reach their full potential.

We effectively collaborate with our youth participants, as well as local, state, and national community partners, to achieve common goals.

We make decisions transparently, in line with our values and mission.

We believe our youth should engage in adolescent development and scholarly endeavors that promote the creation and application of knowledge for the remainder of their lives.

We value and respect our greatest asset: our youth. We serve the youth connected to us through ties to our local communities and organizations.

We care about youth, empathize with youth perspectives and situations, and constantly act to improve their well-being and life skills.

We believe in the potential of ideas to transform the lives of youth so that they can build stronger social relationships.

We communicate in a direct, transparent, honest, and timely manner to the youth we serve.

We deliver unparalleled value to the youth in the communities we serve.

We educate and prepare youth to stay attuned to, and address, complex issues they may face through education programs and services, which -in turn- fosters lifelong learning.

Building a legacy together

Our commitment to excellence in our youth focuses on providing opportunities, resources, and support to help them reach their full potential. We invest in educational programs, mentorship, and extracurricular activities that foster growth, leadership, and community engagement. By nurturing their talents and aspirations, we aim to build a brighter future for our entire community.
