THE FIVE BASICS
Our work is guided by Five Basic principles. 
We believe that every child needs and deserves:

              A one-on-one relationship with a caring adult
              A safe place to learn and grow
              A healthy start and a healthy future
              A marketable skill to use upon graduation
              A chance to give back to peers and community
