We train, mentor and equip ‘Courageous Youth’ to thrive in all aspects of life:  spiritual, emotional, physical, social,academic, and economic.  Specifically:

• To develop life skills and spiritual values that make youth resistant to premature sexual activity, alcohol/drug abuse, and abusive/violent behavior.
• To be equipped for God’s design for work and service to others.
• To be engaged in an abundant life of fellowship with God and furthering His kingdom.
• To pass it on: to invite, encourage, appeal and equip their peers to do the same.
