The Problem

I need help to ignite the power and potential of young people to change the commuinty. Currently our community is lacking youth clubs/ groups and actives that can expose our children to a variety of opportunities. Research has shown that during after school and weekend hours, children are most vulnerable to gangs, violence and other risky behaviors. This program will teach dance, how to abide by the rules and regulations and team work. Last but least this program encourage them to become global citizens who support and influence their Club and community and sustain meaningful relationships with others, as well as develop a positive self-image and good character while respecting their own and others’ cultural identities.

Plan of Action

My goals are to meet the challenges of the community through its work engaging at-risk youth in comprehensive programming aimed to develop them into responsible citizens and leaders. Being part of a team is an important resource for youth in the community, our first project in the commuinty.
