SpecialtiesWe are a newly formed community-based organization that grew out of the need and desire to make constructive change in our community, by providing academic tutoring and mentoring to young people. As a community-based organization, we will consistently work to expand our activities to focus on issues that directly and adversely affect our youth. It is our view that if members of society fail to address the current social ills affecting our young people, we will condemn young people to a cycle of poverty, alienation, and death. A quality and comprehensive education is the only guarantee for a healthy society and a secure future. We are also a non-profit organization and we gladly accept donations to keep this program running for our youth!
