Mission

We engage vulnerable youth in enrichment programs that develop leadership skills, leading to self-sufficiency.
Our proven, one-of-a-kind, SMART Conversations®, social-emotional learning, and leadership model serves as the foundation for all of our programs.

Vision

We envision that all voices are heard and respected in organizations and society on a global scale.

Our Principles

We were founded on the principle that everyone, no matter who you are or where you come from, deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. It doesn’t matter what religion you follow, or if you follow any religion at all. It doesn’t matter if your skin is light or dark or some shade in between. It doesn’t matter if you dropped out of high school or if you earned a doctorate. It doesn’t matter how big your house is. It doesn’t matter how full your wallet is. You are a human being, and you are valuable.

Our strategy

Our research-proven methods blend communication with creative arts to empower members of
vulnerable communities. We provide people with opportunities to become professional leaders
that inspire their community.
We also collaborate with other non-profits by helping incorporate SMART Conversations using our Train-The-Trainer model.
