Improve participants’ literacy proficiency through remediation and expansion of their current aptitude levels. Motivate them to excel beyond the life stations their current situations dictate. Inspire their entrepreneurial spirit. Afford them the tools necessary to interact with decorum in business and social settings. Supply them with life skills essential for success as productive, healthy members of society. Develop their leadership potential and build them up as positive model leaders among their contemporaries, their community, and the world at-large. Empower them to achieve their goals by mining the wellsprings of their self-confidence and determination.
