Through our future projects and programs, our goal is to improve self-esteem, promote responsible behavior, and life skills of adolescents; increase successful high school completion; assuring that young adults have the knowledge and skills necessary for productive employment and participation in citizen life; promote avoidance of too-early parenthood; promote understanding and tolerance of cultural, racial, and religious differences; and support recreational and cultural activities that meet the physical and social development needs of neighborhoods as determined by the residents. We solicit the involvement of the business community in these efforts.
