My self and my business partner felt if we could provide a safe, positive environment and alternatives to negative lifestyle choices then youth can learn how to make positive choices in their lives and those decisions would deter some of the violence in the community. Youth in our programs stayed in school, grades and behaviors improved and academic achievements improved also. In the last 7 years 5 of our original 18 students have graduated high school, 5 into our local prep academy, several promoted to STEM programs and several are planning to graduate and attend college in the next year. While this is a small percentage of the youth in the city it is a start.
