We are in the business of building Future Leaders in with that in mind we are preparing ourself to work diligently to fully establishing a foundation that will not only serve the youth but his family as well. In order for one to be a leader their home must be filled with the positve re-enforcement that one obtain while at school, at community centers, at sporting event and or when they are with their mentor.
We have been in existence since 2000 and in our short history we were able to make ground breaking steps in the direction of helping save our youth. In 2003 we held the first Youth Peace in the Streets March in Newark, NJ with youth members of the bloods and crips in attendance. At this youth march we were able to have a Teen Summit that alllow many scholars from the community to share their opinion on the community, parenting, schools, and violence. At this same youth summit we were able to encourage the youth bloods and crips to formulate a Peace Treaty and Sign it in which some signed it and some did not. This March ignited the people of the community and we begun to see marches for peace throughout the city which was wonderful.
Our biggest achievement thust far was what happen after the Youth March which was the Battle of the Bricks a basketball league that is geared toward the wall breaking that divided the communities within the housing development due to gang turf. A program that started with three housing developments and 36 youth have now tripled that just six years later to 10 housing sites and more than 300 youth participating in this basketball league.. This basketball league is a basketball league that encourage fellowship and unity among the youth in these sites that are heavily divided by gang terroritory. We provide all participant with a positive word of the day that we expect them to carry out with them throughout the week.
