One day, all youth will have access to the
resources necessary to make change in their
communities.  Solutions are in the voices and
actions of young people each deserves to be
heard and have his or her chance to make an
impact.  Any child who wants to be a leader in
the name of service will be empowered to do so.

Mission
Our mission is to provide equitable after-school
opportunities for South Bend youth to learn the
value of community service and active
citizenship.  We work to accomplish this by
empowering the voices of traditionally
under-resourced young people through an engaging,
service-based leadership development programming
that draws upon both the rich diversity of our
community and the creativity of all people who
are called to action through leadership.
