Summary
It is our goal to expand into a different geographic area of the City of Charlotte each year as we concentrate on preparing our youth for future success and greatness. We aspire to not only create and enhance leadership skills for our African American adults but also to demonstrate to our African-American youth that it is never too early to begin grooming yourself and planning for your future. We want to serve as role models and inspiration for our youth as they enhance their leadership skills, become active in their schools and neighborhoods, and make plans for their future.
