THE CENTER HAS ESTABLISHED BOTH IN-SCHOOL AND OUT-OF-SCHOOL PROGRAMMING ENVIRONMENTS THAT HELP ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE, AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS UNCOVER AND REFINE THEIR NATURAL SKILLS, ABILITIES, AND CHARACTER TRAITS THAT ALLOW THEM TO RISE ABOVE THEIR LIMITATIONS (BOTH REAL AND PERCEIVED). THESE ENVIRONMENTS LET OUR YOUNG PEOPLE EXPERIENCE A COMMUNITY FULL OF MULTI- GENERATIONAL ROLE MODELS AND MENTORING, OPPORTUNITIES TO CONTRIBUTE AS WELL AS RECEIVE, AND A SPIRIT OF INVITATION AND CHALLENGE.
