approach the education of all children and families
with fresh eyes, and relationships must be built on a foundation of mutual respect between educators, parents and the community!
Our goal is to partner with schools and community-based learning centers, the arts, and athletic organizations to focus on issues that impact at-risk, under-served children in our community, including basic literacy skills (K-8), service learning, and holistic health.
Academic Achievement
Citizenship
Student participants will value their personal power and responsibility to serve their communities to benefit our collective society as ethical citizens.
Life Skills
Student participants will live healthy, satisfying, and productive lives.
Fitness
Student participants will strive to achieve their own fitness goals with guidance from coaches and trainers through various workout techniques and programming by abiding by a discipline regiment and consistent practice at a facility with proper resources to carry out the mission.
