Our vision is to be the premier youth serving agency in Northeasr Mississippi, providing comprehensive youth services for children and their families. To be effective, these services must be offered by caring, talented and trained staff, and sustained by strong leadership from the Board of Directors. Completing the vision is a supportive community that invests at the individual, corporate and government level.
We believe there is good in every child and our challenge is to seek out the good and build upon it. The only way to help children reach their full potential is through comprehensive youth development strategy, incorporating Club programs that instill in youth a sense of belonging and a sense of usefulness, a sense of belonging and a sense of influence or power.
