PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The purpose of the program is to educate teen boys 16 to 19 years old about life decisions, from sexuality, education and finances, to life goals thru the eyes of adult minority decent. It's all done with one central theme – The simple question: Is it TRUE?
“A lot of the way that society is structured today is that you have to be like everybody else, you have to fit in. Our focus is to take the question, dispel the bad habits and encourage these teens to not compromise their uniqueness to be part of the crowd. Then we believe the teens will see a different perspective of love and guidance.” – Phil Goode
