A place where the youth come for educational services, mentoring and they are given an opportunity to grow and realize their inner strengths. Also to develop them into the leaders that they were born to be and understand what it is to become someone that can change their own lives and also influence their peers. Each will see that the real reward is not acquiring the knowledge and applying it but being able to give back. This is our story!

Central Park 5
On the 5th of December we traveled to West 4th street IFC theater to watch the documentary film, The Central Park 5. It was a very powerful film letting us know how our ''justice system'' works. After the film we met Yusef Salaam., one of the 5 who was wrongfully incarcerated for the rape of a woman jogging in Central Park. We had a wonderful and powerful discussion about the film and his experience. He gave us his perspective about the situation the film did not show. We will meeting him to have another discussion as well a radio interview on Hot 97 stay tuned.
