What is the definition of Dignity? How do we preserve it? How do we hold onto that ounce of hope gleaming in a child's eye saying, "Yes I can!" How is this done? By providing them with the tools necessary to walk tall, speak their minds, respect their peers and elders, understand the roots of honesty and truth, compassion for others and a hunger to chase their dreams and turn them in to realistic goals. Together as a team of staff and volunteers, we are passionate about putting this on the forefront and utilizing our skills and abilities to make this vision a reality in our mission.
