Our History & Commitment to Leadership& Service

Our Commitment

To teach and develop servant leaders through education and example.  Our board consists of community elders, youth, and middle aged who are all community workers.  Being a good leader is about first recognizing good leadership then being a good follower and supporter of those leading in the work for charity and care for humanity,  justice, equality, and inclusiveness in our society and all communities. Our programming over the years include prerequisites to leadership such as education and information on leadership, academics, rites of passages, moral support, skill training, character development, mentorships, internships, camps, workshops, issue and specialty centered theme clubs,  plus partnerships with government and community organizations that match our  mission
