Our outcomes aim to foster positive change in underserved communities by increasing the number of new youth volunteers, especially in the middle grades. We are committed to reducing the number of disengaged youth, empowering them to take an active role in their communities. Additionally, we strive to enhance the representation of youth leadership candidates in high school service groups from underserved communities, ensuring diverse voices are heard and valued. Together, we can create a brighter future for all.
Our Core Values
Student-centered education: Education is a process that needs to be entirely student-centered.
Youth Empowerment: Youth should be empowered to take action on issues that impact the world they are inheriting.
Democratic Thought: Not just what it is, but how you do it. The important role of self-discipline, respect for the rights and beliefs of others, and the process of teamwork and collaboration.
Equity and Equality Matter: An intentional focus on supporting all human beings, meeting each child where they are in their journey.
Healthy Planet, Healthy People: All institutions must adopt and lean into social and environmental sustainability goals.
Service for the Common Good is a Civic Responsibility: Service to others is expected of all. It is not a set of hours to complete. It is a moral imperative to sustaining human civilization. It is a key component to winning in life.
